Here is my current serial port useage which I don't think would be that uncommon:
1. Dynon transponder
2. Dynon ADSB
3. VPX-Pro
4 796 (rx) and 406 ELT (tx)
5. Dynon GPS
I have used the Dynon radio but if I wanted to add a second radio such as a SL30 or GNT650, for IFR, there is no more...
As there are currently 6 unused pins on the D36 connector it would be nice to have a couple of more serial connections as I already have all 5 serial connection used and one has the RX and TX going to two different units, a 796 and 406 ELT.

I guess that would work until the next gizmo that needs a serial port comes along.
However, I was hoping to keep the 406 hooked up to the Skyview. So that if, however unlikely one of the GPS fails, I would still have a GPS position going to the 406.
Dynon, sorry for not answering earlier.
I have your ADSB, Transponder, GPS and the VPX-Pro each using a serial port. Then I have the 796 using the RX and a 406 ELT using the TX on the remaining serial port.
Hence no remaining serial ports. :'(
Has the Moose flown yet with the SV52 servos? I have a friend who has a Yukon with the SV1000 and wants to install the AP. Do you have any info on this install that may help?
Is a C146 certified navigator required to make the ADSB 2020 compliant or does it just need a certified WAAS GPS? I'm not talking a C146 certified navigator for IFR but for VFR with your ADSB receiver.
