Anyone know anything about the Rebate?
The trouble for NavWorx surfaced when ADS600-B owners were denied payment of the FAA’s $500 ADS-B install rebate because the program only applies to FAA-approved and mandate-compliant systems.

Can we still get the rebate and is there a list of products that qualify?
Unless something has changed recently, the final day to register for the rebate was Sept. 18, 2017.

I kind of feel I got cheated out of my rebate. I installed the Dynon Skyview system with their mode S remote transponder about 4.5 years ago. It turns out that this mode S xponder is compliant with the 2020 ADS-B out requirement. All it needed was to replace my old WAAS GPS antenna puck with the new Dynon 2020 WAAS puck, which I did last year (a super easy replacement). With just a little tweaking of the xponder setup parameters I was fully 2020 ADS-B out compliant, and passed the fly around test the FAA makes you do. So I then went to the FAA website to apply for my $500 rebate (since it was prior to Sept. 18) and found out I was not elgible! It was because according to the FAA ATC records I had been flying around for 4 years with a 2020 compliant xponder, and the rebate was only for NEW installations. Apparently the ATC people can only tell if you have the 2020 compliant xponder and they can't determine or don't care if you have a 2020 compliant WAAS GPS. My old GPS was WAAS but not the 2020 compliant WAAS, in other words not on their "list". I don't know this for a fact, but I suspect that I could have continued with the old WAAS GPS and become 2020 compliant and passed the fly test; they may never have really known my GPS was not on their "list". Anyway I am now all legally compliant but without my $500 rebate. Bummer!

So basically our existing transponders need to be replaced with the adsb unit? The rebate ends 2/15/18
So apparently they extended the rebate deadline to Feb. 15.
Transponders need to be ads-b compliant AND coupled to a 2020 compliant WAAS gps.

Is it an addition to the existing transponder or does it have to be replaced with a new one?
