I have an RV-3B and Nanchang CJ6 with GTX 327 transponders. I wish to install UAT out in each amd Freeflight amongst others allows digital control of their units by the GTX-327. I successfully installed a Freeflight RANGR Lite in an Aviat Husky with a GTX-327 earlier this year. I have 3 more 327s and two GTX-32s on the shelf for future UAT use.
What software level is required in the GTX-327/32 for proper serial interface to directly talk to units such as the Freeflight and uAvionix UAT boxes?
Garmin used to provide software updates to the GTX-327 during OSH as a courtesy but stopped doing that specifically for the 327 a couple of years ago. They still do it for the 330 and newer units.
In the spirit of DIY homebuilders everywhere I can build up the software programming harness for the GTX 32/327 and even have an older laptop with serial ports. I have the procedural instructions to do this including providing a load for the antenna connector. How can I get my hands on the windows software and drivers and latest firmware for these Mode C transponders?
Respoond here or PM.
Thanks,
Jim
