GTX 330 A panel-mounted Mode S digital transponder series with traffic datalink capability and dedicated pushbutton keys for squawk code selection, the GTX 330 family brings ATC aircraft surveillance to new levels of precision, reliability and performance. Leading the way with ADS-B With IFR-certified ES, or Extended Squitter, versions of the GTX 330, Garmin has taken the lead in providing an affordable pathway to ADS-B compliance for the FAA’s proposed Next Generation airspace system. Using precise GPS-referenced positioning information, the extended squitter technology enables transponders to automatically transmit more accurate, and more useful, traffic surveillance data – including aircraft flight ID, position, altitude, velocity, climb/descent, and heading information. (Compared to traditional Mode S and Mode C transponders, which can only broadcast altitude, and thus require ground-based radar to correlate and identify the aircraft’s position.) Traffic in simulcast As the first general aviation transponder to receive TSO-C166a authorization for 1090 MHz extended squitter transmission, Garmin’s GTX 330 ES improves upon the existing transponder query system – while working seamlessly with existing ATC protocols. The ADS-B reports provide ground controllers with considerably faster updates than traditional radar. And by simultaneously broadcasting this information to TAS or TCAS equipped pilots, it enables them to essentially see the same traffic picture for their location that ATC is watching on the ground. Thus, with everyone in the ADS-B loop watching and reacting to the same flight trajectories, safe separation is far easier to maintain. The quality shows All the features of Garmin’s standard GTX 330 transponder are retained in the ES version: Solid-state design, 250-watt transmitter, remote ident and auto standby, altitude monitor with voice alerts, TIS traffic interface, and an easy-to-read LCD display that reverses its numbers out of black for optimal viewing in all lighting conditions. A dedicated VFR squawk code button makes entering the numbers quick and easy. And a variety of useful timing and display functions include flight time, count-up and count-down timers, plus current pressure altitude. The GTX 330 can also be used to satisfy the European mandate for Mode S level 2 surveillance. And an antenna diversity option is added with the GTX 330D – for improved air-to-air surveillance of TCAS-equipped aircraft flying above you. GTX 330: Better surveillance for busier airspace.	GNC 420XL GPS/COMM With the GNC 420, Garmin has taken the navigation accuracy of a GPS and combined it with a 10-watt Comm and a color display to make the first color GPS/comm in the industry. With its frequency nomination feature, pilots can easily load their next Comm frequency into standby with the touch of a button. Additionally, the GNC 420 is a self-contained unit–meaning annunciation is included in one box–eliminating the need and additional expense of a separate annunciation unit. The GNC 420 is also TSO C129a certified for a non-precision approach. GTX 327 TPX With the introduction of the GTX 327 solid-state Mode C digital transponder, 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, when it fails, will be expensive to replace. And since the GTX 327's design is 100 percent solid state, there's lower power consumption, much lower heat emission, and no warm up time–all of which translates into a longer service life. Some of the GTX 327's biggest features are the easiest to see. Among them, the easy-reading DSTN Liquid Crystal Display which reverses the numbers out of black for optimal viewing. The numeric keypad makes entering a squawk code a snap, and a dedicated VFR button allows for quick-and-easy 1200/VFR squawking. The GTX 327 also offers important timing and display functions such as flight time and count-up and count-down timers, as well as current pressure altitude.Together, these features represent a whole new standard in transponder utility.

PS ENGINEERING PW7000 Audio Communications The PMA7000 represents the next evolutionary step in audio control. With the introduction of IntelliVoxtm, the proprietary automatic VOX squelch control, intercom operation is greatly simplified. Safety and convenience are paramount in the PMA7000M-S development. High quality, six-pole active filtering on individual microphone channels forms the heart of the intercom system. The IntelliVoxtm constantly adjusts the squelch threshold on each microphone input, differentiating between cabin noise and human speech. Split mode communications capability allows crew members to use both radios independently. An optional DRAWS (Digital Recording and Audio Warning System) system includes a recorder that stores the last ATC communications. The alert system interfaces to engine gages to provide voice announcements of out-of-limit indications. This unit is designed to be a pin-compatible replacement for the PMA6000M-S, as well as the KMA-24.  The positive-action buttons and legends are backlit for nighttime viewing. LED indicators provide annunciation of the selected modes. The receiver buttons also latch, for unambiguous mode identification even in bright sunlight. Fail-safe feature automatically connects the pilot to Com 1 if the unit or power fails. The PMA7000 also gives the pilot and passengers audio access to wireless telephone systems. Two individual high-fidelity stereo inputs allow entertainment flexibility for passengers and crew. Music source 1 is always provided to the pilots, music 2 is presented in the passenger area. A "swap" function allows pilots to use a yoke-mounted button to switch between Com 1 and Comm 2 without reaching for the panel. Buttons are removable for custom configurations.
PMA 6000    The PMA6000 combines an audio selector panel with a top-quality intercom and a slew of features to enhance versatility and utility. Among the high points: Designed to be pin-compatible with the popular Bendix/King KMA-24 audio selector panel, the PMA6000 takes advantage of existing wiring to smooth installation. The PMA 6000 is now available in stereo! The PMA6000 offers space for an optional marker-beacon receiver. Split pilot and copilot communications capability allows crew members to independently and simultaneously use both radios, even transmitting simultaneously on different frequencies.  Pilot and crew/passenger isolate functions are an integral part of the design.  With split music inputs, front-seaters can bop to Thelonius Monk while the back jams on British Punk. Dual music input jacks for passengers and crew are standard feature. A remote "swap" function allows pilots to use a yoke-mounted switch to select Comm 1 and Comm 2 options without reaching for the panel.
