Transponder class 1, 250W
Manual english
The newly developed Mode-S Transponder KTX2-S incorporates latest technology – The result is a highly efficient airborne equipment, offering lowest possible power consumption, smallest dimensions and lowest weight. As a Class 1 Transponder with an operational range up to 35.000ft and 250kt the KTX2-S is ideal not only for microlight aircraft and gliders, but also for a major part of aircraft of general aviation up to 12500lbs MTOW (VFR and IFR).
The fully re-engineered KTX2-S is a super light weight, compact model S transponder with low current consumption and a premium TFT-colour display. Regardless of whether it is used in sport, microlight aircraft, gliders or balloons - the KTX2-S offers maximum possible safety due to provision of precise position and ID-data for the air traffic control and other air traffic participants. As a result, the KTX2-S is a reliable device to prevent collisions.
