HX and HXr discontinued.
On Dec. 19th. 2019 I wrote n email to Jeff DeFouw (chief software designer) and asked him the following question"
"I noticed on the GRT web site that the 8.4 and the 10.4 HXr screens are no longer listed. When I click on the Horizon HXr under the EFIS Systems tab only the Horizon 10.1 EFIS is shown. Does that mean that you will no longer be manufacturing these units?"
Here is Jeff's response:
"That is correct. The SX, HX, and HXr (all sizes) are no longer in production. The EX and 10.1 have taken over sales. It was not economical to keep producing the older units:
Originally I installed two 8.4" HX EFIS' but since upgraded them both to HXr's. In a subsequent email I asked Jeff about GRT continuing support and service of these units.
Here is his response:
"The HXr continues to be a supported product with improvements and new features. The 10.1 shares most of its software with the HXr. The graphics changes that are compatible with the HXr screen resolution will be integrated into the HXr software."
