Hey all –
Here’s a dumb question… does the GTX330 get you anything super neato besides mode S traffic? I’m asking because I’m wanting to get the Avidyne TAS600 to have active traffic, and I wonder if I’m losing any functionality that I’ll miss if I get that and a GTX327 to offset some of the cost. Is there something else cool that I don’t know about the GTX330?
Thanks for any opinions!

Chris,
Only thing I can think of is that it has a LOT of ports (ARINC 429 and RS-232) and there are references in the install docs about using it to act as a repeater/concentrator for other devices. Not sure if this is the same on the 327 or not. I’ll send you more info offline.

Bob, you are correct the 330 has 429 interfaces where the 327 doesn’t have any. Also the 330 has altitude warning feature (haven’t used it yet) and it also will show Density Altitiude if you wire up an OAT probe to the 330. I wired it up to mine, but then I guy doesn’t need 3 OAT sticking out in the air.
Also in your consideration is the upcoming upgrade to the 330 to make it capable with 1090ES (software upgrade I’ve been told), which is a standard for transmitting adsb info using the 1090 Mhz transmitter. The 330 however does not have a 1090 receiver, so you will not be able to see other 1090ES transmitted traffic (ship to ship) except you would see that traffic if you are within the range of a TIS transmitting facility which uses the 1030Mhz receiver built into the 330.
It would be nice if Garmin had two upgrades available, one with the software only and another that added the 1090 reciever, then we would have the best of both worlds. I guess we will have to see how it shakes out.
Thank You
Ray Doerr
