The German technology company TQ announced it is bringing a dual-format ADS-B transponder to EAA’s AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin this month. The 1090ES system can either fit into a 6 ¼-inch radio slot or a 2 1/4–inch round-gauge space, making it viable for a variety of aircraft types. TQ claims the power draw for the KTX2 is low despite the bright digital screen made to be legible in sunlight.
