Garmin introduces
the GTX320A, a full-featured, compact, panel-mounted, Class 1A
transponder. The GTX320A's solid-state transmitter provides 200
watts nominal power output, eliminating the need for a cavity
tube that can degrade with time, fail, or require expensive replacement.
One hundred percent solid state also means no warm-up time, reduced
power consumption, and heat for longer service life. Extensive
utilization of surface-mount technology provides shallow depth
and reduced weight which simplifies installation in the tightest
spaces. The GTX320A will operate at 14 or 28 volts without the
requirement for external voltage converters or dropping resistors.
The GTX320A fits
into existing installations of select Narco and King transponders
using optional adapters for simple, cost-effective upgrading.
A modular design allows for ease of serviceability and simple,
standard, four-knob tuning. Also included is an extensive one-year
warranty. The GTX320A transponder — another high-value,
compact, reliable product from the avionics industry innovator:
