I have the old Open Flight Solutions ADSB-In (now Falkin Avionics) unit and I wanted to hard wire power to the Flightbox instead of going through a USB plug on the panel for power. Unfortunately I didn’t realize a USB plug output is only around 5.4 volts vs 12 volts at the 1 amp CB I was going to use for power. When I tried to power up the Flightbox I didn’t get the expected Wi-Fi signal therefore I think I fried the unit with the 12 volts I directly connected.
I called GRT and asked them about their Discovery ADSB-in product and found out they’re build to order” with about a two month delay for product delivery. I really don’t want to go through spring without adsb weather so I’m checking the VAF brain trust to see if someone has a no longer used adsb-in unit that can be hardwired to my EFIS units for data input and hardwired to my panel for 12 volt power supply.
Please PM me if you can help out.
