GARMIN® GTX™ 330/330 ES TSO'd Panel-mounted Mode S Transponder SKU: GRMN-XPDR-GTX330/330ES

GARMIN® GTX™ transponder product line includes Mode A/C and Mode S TSO'd panel mounted transponders offered in a‭ ‬wide variety of configurations to choose‭ ‬from‭, ‬depending on desired functions‭.‬ Different models are listed under separate product presentations. 

GARMIN® GTX™ 330 is a panel-mounted IFR-certified 250 W, Mode S digital transponder with traffic datalink capability and dedicated pushbutton keys for squawk code selection. The GTX™ 330 series brings ATC aircraft surveillance to new levels of precision, reliability and performance. Optionally available with 1090 MHz extended squitter transmission, certified to TSO-C166b authorization, the GTX™ 330 ES (Extended Squitter) provides an affordable pathway to ADS-B compliance for the Next Generation airspace system. The extended squitter technology enables transponders to automatically transmit 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 a ground-based radar to correlate and identify the aircraft's position. In addition, simultaneous broadcast of this information to TAS or TCAS equipped aircraft, enables them to essentially see the same traffic picture for their location that ATC is watching on the ground. The ‬“ES” upgrade provides a ADS-B‭ ‬Out‭ solution but an input from an approved position source is still needed as GTX™ 330 does not have a WAAS GPS.

GARMIN® GTX™ 330 is discontinued and replaced by GTX™ 335, an entry-level ADS-B Out model‭ with a version integrating an  internal WAAS GPS. If ADS-B‭ ‬In capability is required then the the GTX™ 345 transponder should be selected.

Both GTX™ 330 and GTX™ 330 ES have common features: Solid-state design, 250-watt transmitter, remote ident and auto standby, dedicated VFR squawk button, pressure altitude monitor with voice alerts, Traffic Information System (TIS-A) alerts on compatible displays, 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 while 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. An antenna diversity option is added with the GTX™ 330D for improved air-to-air surveillance of TCAS-equipped aircraft flying above you.

GARMIN® GTX™ 330 is discontinued and replaced by GTX™ 335, an entry-level ADS-B Out model‭ with a version integrating an  internal WAAS GPS. If ADS-B‭ ‬In capability is required then the the GTX™ 345 transponder should be selected.
