I am considering upgrading my Garmin 530W and 430W to a Avidyne combo

BUT I do not see that it will play with the GTX 330ES with ADS B upgrade.

Is that correct ?

Can it be done ?

I understand that with the latest firmware (10.2.0) IFDs work just fine with 330ESs & 345s. Check out the first post in this thread:

Calling up the 1-800 tech support line will give you an official confirmation.

Thanks for the quick reply. It looks like it will play with the 330ES

Also, I have traffic on my 530w/430w/330ES now do I need anything other "boxes" to get the same traffic on the IFD540

Yes, legacy TIS traffic will show as well, at least for as long as TIS remains supported by the various TRACONS. (vice ADS TIS-B, a different animal)
