Garrecht TRX-1500

Hello European-RV pilots,

for my Dynon Skyview system I want to install a Garrecht TRX-1500. This receives flarm + Mode-S transponders and Skyview displays the data graphically. According to the guys from Dynonavionic.de very good results are obtained.

Who of you already used a Garrecht TRX-1500, experience? Where and what type of antenna you have installed?

Regards Knut

Hi Knut,

I know of one RV-7 flying here with the TRX-1500 and a Skyview System and they seem to be happy with it, reg. D-EEET. If you wish I can give you a contact address - PM me.
I am flying with a TRX-2000 and the Skyview screens. It is almost the same setup, however the TRX-2000 has an own screen and it also talks to the Skyview. You should be alright with the TRX-1500.

Plus, receives ADS-B-In and transmits FLARM. Does not however detect Mode-C traffic.

Can output TIS-B on a RS-232 serial connection. And, with their Air-Connect unit, can setup an in-cockpit wifi connection to FLARM-protocol-aware applications on wifi enabled tablets.

I have no affiliation. Just thinking of getting one myself and have spoken with one of their developers who frequents the UK RVSqn forum.

Hi, any update on your installation? Did you install the TRX-1500 or the TRX-2000? I am building an RV7A in France and will install a skyview and would like to install a traffic receiver with a maximum of input: FLARM, ADS-B, transpondeur mode C ? What is the best on the market for the moment?
Thanks,
Nicolas

Hi,

What about connecting with the Garmin G3X Touch?

Thanks,

Thanks for the idea, I never heard about the Garmin but I will look at this in details, I am near Toulouse

I have no direct experience but I suggest you also take a look at PilotAware . They have a device that can do P3i (their own but open standard), ADS-B, FLARM, Mode S and Mode C but only distance and altitude for the transponders (not azimuth). My impression is that it's less mature than the Garecht unit but it's much cheaper and portable.
