My FIL flies an RV-10 with an older panel. He likes his 796 for what he does, which is mostly VFR navigation and traffic. He gets ADSB in on his 345 transponder and has it linked by Bluetooth to the 796. He just got a second 796 because he wants one for the copilot spot because his wife likes to follow along and look for traffic. Is there a way to get the 345 traffic data to send to both 796s? I don't know if the 345 can support more than one output, maybe one wired and one Bluetooth? I'm pretty clueless about these portables, and actually avionics in general, so anyone that's messed with them probably has something useful for me!
 
Maybe one could be hard wired and one BT?
 
You can wire RS-232 from one output to 2 different inputs just by splicing. I'm assuming it's RS-232 data...
 
I'll look to see if it's rs 232. If so, good to know it can be spliced together. I'm ok with electrical, but electronics/data/signal stuff I'm still very much learning.
