Garmin GTX-327 Transponder
Overview
Until the introduction of Garmin's GTX-330, this was their best transponder. While the GTX-327 lacks the GTX-330's traffic features, it is an excellent unit, with many helpful convenience features.
The GTX-327 produces 200 watts of transmission power, offering long range and operation up to 50,000 feet. Plus, the GTX-327 does this without a cavity. As a result, reliability is improved, and no warm-up time is needed before operation.
The GTX-327 features:
- Large, easy-to-read digital display
- Numeric keypad for easy squawk entry
- Dedicated VFR button to squawk 1200
- Count up and count down timers
- Displays pressure altitude from your encoder
- 4096 discrete codes
