KTX2 TQ-Group
Better safe than sorry with the innovative KTX2 TQ-Group KTX2 The newly developed KTX2 is a superlight, compact, mode S transponder with low power consumption and a high-grade TFT color display. As a Class 1 transponder with an operating range of up to 35,000 ft. and 250 kn, it is not only ideal for just gliders, ultralights and balloons, but also for a large number of GA aircraft up to 5.67 metric tons MTOW (VFR and IFR). The KTX2 provides maximum possible safety, since in addition to the Squawk, also the flight level and an unambiguous 24-bit-identification which is allocated to the particular aircraft is transmitted. Furthermore the air traffic control is able to send requests to particular transponders. With this, the KTX2 makes a remarkable contribute to flight safety. The advantages at a glance Extremely low weight of only 360 grams ideal for gliders and ultralights Very compact dimensions for easy and flexible installation Minimum power consumption perfect for battery operation in gliders and balloons Large, high-contrast, long-life TFT color display for maximum readability even in direct sunlight Intuitive operation developed by pilots for pilots Excellent price/performance ratio Made in Germany 1
