As Sun 'n Fun drew to a close, Aspen Avionics announced yet another encouraging development in the avionics market: compatibility with Garmin's new line of ADS-B systems. Through a newly approved STC, Aspen's Evolution-series PFD and MFD retrofit display systems can display ADS-B weather and traffic when connected with Garmin's GDL88-series dual-band ADS-B receiver. The company also said it's planning on including Garmin's new GTX345 ADS-B transponder to the interface by the end of the year. The GTX345 is Garmin's next-generation wireless all-in-one 1090ES transponder that replaces the GTX330ES. It also has a built-in dual-band traffic and weather receiver.
