Fall doesn't even start for 15 days!
The wiring requirements for the Dynon box will be 4 wires to a D9 male cable (D9 female on the box).
1: Power In
2: RX in to Box, TX on SkyView Wires
3: TX from box, RX on SkyView wires
4: Ground
There is a standard BNC connector to go to the antenna.
Remember, this box can be anywhere in the plane (panel, under a seat, in the back).
The box can be mounted anywhere inside the plane in any orientation.
The antenna needs to be 2' away from the transponder antenna (hopefully less, we're still testing).
The coax can be any length you'll get an a 2 or 4 place GA plane, from 0' to 30'.
The box draws about 200mA at 12V.
I hope Dynon provides a cutout dimension before I install my panel.
May be a dumb question but what type of Antenna needs to go with the ADSB module?
I think any standard transponder antenna will work.
The Dynon forum suggested this antenna specifically: http://www.navworx.com/navworx_store/Delta_Pop_Aviation_978_MHz_ADS_B_Antenna.html
Almost all of these antennae work at 978MHz: http://www.cobham.com/about-cobham/aerospace-and-security/about-us/antenna-systems/fullerton/products/dmetransponder.aspx
So will it need 2 Transponder Antennas or will both the ADSB and Transponder use the same?

Dynon had Said to plan on a business card size module that stands vertically for the radio, That's one heck of a business card if that is what it is.
I am looking at going with 2 Delta Pop antennas, One Transponder and one UAT, I know there is a requirement for the distance between the Antenna and the Device it is Transmitting for however is there any requirement for the distance they should be from each other and other antennas such as the COM?

Where does the ADS-B box need to be mounted? If in the back, how far away from the ADAHRS box?
it says mounted anywhere
You will want to keep it 1 foot away from the AHRS though.
You'll want about 5' separation between the 1090 and 978 antennae to make sure you don't get any interference. I put my 1090 and transponder well aft of the baggage compartment, and the 978 centered between and slightly aft of the main gear. Comm radio manufacturers all pretty much recommend 24" or better between them and any other structure or antennae, I wasn't able to get that but I have 22" on one comm and 23" on the other.
Dynon says 2 feet minimum separation (not 5) from UAT antenna to the transponder antenna...
I like it thanks for this info, I will verify with Dynon and put the 2 antennas in the corners right after the firewall under the floors
Verification is already on VAF
