Garmin GTX 33 Interface Transponder

See the same radar traffic your ATC controller is watching with the GTX 33, a remote-mounted Mode S digital transponder with traffic datalink capability that also meets the European mandate for Mode S level 2 surveillance. GTX 33D adds antenna diversity to the features of the GTX 33 for improved visibility of TCAS-equipped aircraft flying above you.

Keep An Eye On Traffic

The IFR-certified GTX 33 offers a Traffic Information Services (TIS) interface, giving you greater traffic awareness in some of the country's busiest airports. From the comfort of your aircraft, you can receive TIS, including location, direction, altitude and climb/descent information of nearby aircraft. This information is displayed graphically on integrated GPS/Comm/Nav systems that provide built-in transponder code selection.

Enjoy Innovative Design

GTX 33 features a solid-state design, and with no warm up time, lower power consumption and much lower heat emissions, you'll enjoy a longer service life. It provides 250 watts nominal power output. Other features include remote ident and auto standby, plus altitude monitor with voice alerts.
