We have a NavWorx ADS600-B box in our not yet flying Sportsman which I’d like to keep. We also have a GTN650, so that can be our position source. I understand that is possible and that at least one person has received an Alternate Method of Compliance approval from the FAA which allows certified Garmin boxes for the position source. However, here is what I’m not sure about. My question is how do I rind the version of the software? And what version must we have in order to fly using the GTN650 as the position source? We sent our box back to Bill Moffitt (no charge, just UPS back and forth) in August 2016 at which point he, I think, installed the GPS chip which we now know is not acceptable to the FAA. 



Thanks.

The NavWorx 4.1 software is the latest one available that I know of - it can no longer be obtained from NavWorx - but it is out there



As for the GTN650 - make sure it supports ADS-B OUT+.  You should be able to find it in the serial configuration of the GTN650...or contact Garmin.

Thanks, Ralph,



So, how do I check the version of our software? As I said in the previous post, we sent our unit back to Bill in late July or early August, 2016. I’d suppose he would have updated the software then as well as installing the GPS chip. 



As for our GTN650 supporting ADS-B Out, thought all 650s would be ready for ADS-B. Anyhow, I’ll check with John Stark who sold us the unit, and if he doesn’t know, I’ll get in touch with Garmin.

Dee,



For the GTN650, it should display the software rev at startup.



For the ADS600B, connect a serial cable to the maintenance port on the ADS600B - the other end goes in to your computer/laptop/etc.  Start the NavWorx UAT console (4.1) and select the correct logical comm port for your computer.  It may not connect the first time - so retry another logical comm port.  When it connects, it will tell you what software you have or force an upgrade to the 4.1.  If it connects directly, it will tell you that it is 4.1 already.

Thanks,  Ralph, for the help. I'll speak to my partners and get this done. I vaguely remember doing this several years ago. Never thought we'd have to do it again.
