Pitot/static.....
Well, I was initially writing pitot/static as it is, after all, a system. When I was emailing uAvionics, I left off the wrong end, meaning to say 'static' and not 'pitot'. Good pickup but it was my brain that didn't make the jump! It would still be a PITA to 'T' in but much better not having to....
What's all this about pitot connections? Second post you have referred to it. Altitude encoders use static pressure only and airspeed indicators are the only instruments that use pitot. So if your Echo is in the baggage area it is actually closer to the staitic source than if the unit was under the instrument panel. A simple inline tee should do it. No pitot system involved.
