I installed a Garmin GDL82 attached to my Garmin GTX327 in my Super Legend HP to comply with the 2020 ADS-B mandate.
Here are some thoughts on the process:
1) Degree of Difficulty: Easy
2) Time for Installation: 1 hour, 50 minutes.
3) Equipment Needed: Laptop with Printer Cable for Programming, basic shop tools (drill, screwdriver, measuring tape, nuts/bolts, zip ties).
4) Flight Time: 30+ minutes in Daytona's Class C
5) I installed the optional Anonymous Switch ($5)
6) Cost of Custom 82 to Antenna Cable from Spruce (delivered in 2 days after ordering): $52.39
7) Time spent on the FAA website trying to decipher the Performance Report and Applying for the $500 rebate: 45 minutes
8) Total time spent on project: <5 hours
9) Total cost after rebate (including fuel for flight): <$1,430
