The GDL 82 Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) datalink, is the latest addition to the comprehensive lineup of certified ADS-B solutions available from Garmin. GDL 82 is a small, lightweight Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) datalink with a built-in GPS receiver. For aircraft owners looking for an economical and turnkey solution to satisfy the requirements of ADS-B “Out”, GDL 82 is a straightforward path to meet regulatory requirements.![]() ![]() Pilots who already utilize an ADS-B “In” receiver — such as the GDL 52, GDL 39/GDL 39 3D and the Stratus line of portable solutions — can receive additional benefits as the GDL 82 complements many existing products on the market. With ADS-B “Out” participation, pilots using these products have access to a more comprehensive ADS-B “In” traffic picture, resulting in improved situational awareness. |

Ordering, shipping, and arrival were great, correct item and arrived quickly. The wiring diagram for the harness is essentially the GDL 82 installation Manual there is no separate diagram for the harness. IMHO the wire labels on the harness are hard to find and very small, because they are laser printed on the very small wires and the labels are far apart. So hard to find. On one or two wires I had to unroll almost the whole harness to find the label. Its nice that the backshell is assembled. It would be nice if the harness pigtails had spade terminations on them, or were capped in some way. The harness is nice and worth the money.
