What do you mean by standalone, that it needs a Mode S transponder & encoder? How is the skyBeacon ADS-B Out compliant without at least a Mode A/C separate Mode A/C transponder?
The skyBeacon system is not a transponder, it is a UAT ADS-B Out system using 978 MHz. It has a built in WAAS GPS and detects the transponder data from the reply. It works in conjunction with an existing transponder although it is not connected to the transponder.
