Seems I am not only capable of disrupting airspace, but airwaves as well.

Well I have been educated. I thought all the bleating on about permit aircraft (non-certified) was for a good reason eg. do what you want. But to see an Aera 500 down on a form to do with 'certification', WTF??!

That form does not mention 'certification' and "do what you want" has never been an aspect of LAA Approval.
I'd get your money back from your educators, if I were you.

Curious, I had a G5 TRT800H ADS-B approved in June after submitting test results with print outs from 'getyourwings' software. I also use similar in my own aircraft using Aera500 and TRT800. Also had the claim for £250 from CAA upheld for a TRT800 to go in the one I am building.

The issue with early TRT800s is well known; they don't put out Airborne Velocity and Airborne Position messsages.

That approval citing easa 210.045 is the Mod 11 to change the receiver board as some French interogators were not working with Funke receiver.

But this is to confirm you have a device that sends SIL = 0 etc, not that the transponder you are using has an EASA Type approval and it has been signed by an inspector and not submitted to LAA as a minor Mod as the OP has done. As for the rebate -i dont think the rebate department are checking you have an ADSB type approved transponder before they payout.
I think all of this discussion needs to have Funke involved since either they believe they have necessary approvals to sell an ADSB transponder in which case LAA have to be convinced, or they are cheating 100's of customers who have purchased on the strength of their advert claims and ought to be taken up by the equivelent of our trading standards in Germany.

I think this is the more likely. However in aviation we have long paid for the mistakes of the manufacturers in ADs and so on. Normal consumer law doesn't seem to apply to aviation.
Garmin also claimed ADS-B compatibility with their GTX-330, then quoted almost the price of a new transponder to "upgrade".

They are still selling them without the required Certification as of Dec 2020.

After all the furore of the past few years I don't understand why anyone is still buying them though!

If anyone out there still is then: "You very special person. I give you very special price".

I'd suggest it is time to go back to the supplier and lean on them for a fix or refund. 5 years waiting on certification suggests it'll never come.
The quickest way to fall out with people is, discuss politics.

Never criticise a man until you’ve flown a mile in his loafers.

I know, I paid for it. My transpoder was built in 2008, so can hardly be expected to meet C166b, which came into effect four years later. I may be disappointed, but have no cause for complaint. As a transponder it works perfectly.

Yup, I think you are probably right. That must be it.
Or it could be this
Be nice, considerate and polite.
If you can't make your point without a personal attack, obvious or otherwise, don't make it at all.

Identifying individuals whilst enjoying anonymity is a BIG no no
