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.
Dual Format ADS-B Transponder Soon to Launch in the U.S.
Key Takeaways:
- TQ is introducing the KTX2, a dual-format 1090ES ADS-B transponder, at AirVenture, designed for versatile installation, low power consumption, and affordability.
- A notable drawback of the KTX2 is its lack of an integrated WAAS GPS source, which is required to meet the 2020 ADS-B mandate.
- TQ will also debut its KRT2 radio to the American market, a unit popular in Europe for its integrated intercom and dual-frequency monitoring.
