Dual Model XGPS170 ADS-B GPS Receiver

摘要

Dual electronics' compact and stylish ADS-B receiver caught our eye the first time we saw it. It took a while, however, before we got a chance to fly it, in part because Dual was working awfully hard to get the model into production and in part because, once it did, the units were hard to come by, as they were back-ordered. The biggest challenge for makers of portable ADS-B receivers is that two of the three most popular moving-map/ charting apps, Foreflight Mobile Pro and Garmin Pilot, are proprietary when it comes to pairing with ADS-B receivers. Garmin Pilot only works with Gar-min's units, chiefly the GDL39, and Foreflight requires that users pair it with the Appareo Stratus, which was developed jointly with Foreflight and Sporty's.
