I would guess it is ok as it is TSO'd - best check with CAA Radio Licencing to be sure - depending on your flying requirements (IFR? / certain airspace ) for basic Mode S ( elementary) you don't need data link - that is for enhanced Mode S.

King Quote (my bolds)

* NOTE: The KT-70 does not meet the ICAO Annex 10 SARPS mandate for Mode S datalink
