Bluetooth GPS manufacturer Bad Elf has launched a crowd-funding effort on Kickstarter to bring a low-cost and universally compatible portable ADS-B receiver to market. The Bad Elf receiver will come in four configurations, all with GPS: $299 for single-band 978 MHz (weather and traffic); $449 for 978 MHz with AHRS (attitude information); $449 for single-band 1090 MHz with AHRS (air-to-air traffic, for use outside the U.S. where ADS-B IN weather is not available); $549 for dual-band 978 and 1090 MHz with AHRS. These prices are for the Kickstarter effort. The Bad Elf Kickstarter ends on January 14 at 7 p.m.
