With the intro of the GTX 327, Garmin revolutionizes a part of the panel that has been long overlooked. This full-featured, TSO certified transponder brings a unique level of functionality and utility to your airplane. Its solid state transmitter provides 200 watts nominal power output and eliminates the need for a cavity tube which will eventually fail and require expensive replacement. And since the GTX327 design is 100% solid state there is no warm up time, lower power consumption and lower heat emission. All of which translates to a longer service life.
The GTX-330D are Mode S, IFR-certified transponders with datalink capability, including local traffic updates. Now, from the comfort of your aircraft, you can receive FAA Traffic Information Services (TIS), including location, direction, altitude, and climb/descent information of nearby aircraft on your GNS 530 or GNS 430. The result is improved communication between aircraft and air traffic control (ATC), providing U.S. pilots with greater traffic awareness in busy terminal areas.
