NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS
Continued from page 67

Dallas Avionics
Dallas Avionics Inc. was founded in 1973 as a wholesale
distributor of aircraft electronics, test equipment and
installation supplies. At the 2017 AEA Convention, the
company's sales
representative
and product
specialist,
Scott Edwards,
introduced
the NavWorx
ADS600-B
The
2.0 978 UAT
NavWorx
(In
and Out)
ADS600-B
2.0 978 UAT
FAA-compliant
ADS-B system.
The ADS600-B 2.0 features an internal WAAS GPS receiver and can be used
with Garmin GNS/GTN equipment for position information, eliminating the need for a second GPS antenna. In
addition, the new unit can interface with any existing
Mode C or Mode S transponder and simultaneously provides ADS-B In's free traffic and weather information to
as many as three separate displays via its built-in Wi-Fi
capability. The ADS600-B 2.0 carries a list price of only
$2,020 for a limited time and should be available in 2017.
Also new from Dallas Avionics is the ADS600-B UAT
System from NavWorx, which is designed to offer not
only rule-compliant ADS-B Out capability for Garmin
GNS/GTN-equipped aircraft, but do it at what many
consider a bargain list price of $1,499. As with the
ADS600-B 2.0, the new unit offers a Wi-Fi interface for
displaying ADS-B In traffic and weather on up to three
portable devices and can be made to work with any Mode
C or Mode S transponder. An ARINC display option is
available.
A third new offering from Dallas Avionics is the
TransMonSPE adapter, which connects to a legacy transponder antenna's coax cable to capture the assigned
squawk code and the pressure altitude (Mode C/S) before
sending this data to a remote-mounted ADS-B Out system. The TransMonSPE connects to the transponder cable
in less than a minute, takes up no space on the instrument
panel and requires no interaction from the pilot. It retails
for $199.

Brad Sutphin of DAC International, DMA-Aero's U.S.
distributor, introduced the company's latest, the secondgeneration version of its venerable, popular and lightweight MPS43 air data test set, the MPS43B. Features of
the new, second-generation device include operation on
its built-in battery for more than one hour, an upgraded
front panel with flush controls and display for improved
weather protection, and a vacuum port to help position
adapters on a fuselage during testing. At just 9 pounds,
the MPS43B, like its predecessor, is designed for use in a
cockpit. But the latest version supports both Bluetooth for
operation via a laptop or tablet computer, and there's an
optional remote keypad that is a duplicate of the one built
into the unit.
The MPS43B is RVSM-compliant and comes with
12-month calibration, a 1,000-hour warranty on its internal pressure and vacuum pumps, and a multicolor touchscreen display. The original MPS43 air data test set will
continue to be offered, while the new MPS43B will be
available in July 2017.
