Narrative:
On final approach to land on runway 26 (wind favored runway) I received a traffic alert from my adsb. I was on CTAF and made a downwind; base and final call on this frequency of my positions. There was no other traffic on frequency.on final; about 600 feet above the ground; made visual contact with a cessna 172 or 182 departing runway 8. Both me and the departing aircraft made evasive maneuvers to the right. I landed without incident. The cessna aircraft departed the area.this airport has on-going frequency confusion. It is possible that the departing aircraft was communicating on unicom rather than CTAF.
