Push Step
The TX56 display is designed for maximum clarity, showing both primary and secondary frequencies alongside airfield or VOR identifiers. The innovative ‘Push Step’ knob enables quick adjustments from 8.33 kHz to 25 kHz spacing, allowing fast frequency tuning while keeping your focus on flying. With Dual Watch, you can monitor two frequencies simultaneously, essentially adding a secondary radio.
Say Again
With the ‘Say Again’ feature, the TX56 enables a quick replay of the last received transmission at the push of a button. This function is particularly useful for student pilots or any pilot who may need a momentary replay, reducing the need to request air traffic control to repeat transmissions.
VOR
The Nav receiver in the TX56 has been optimized for effortless operation, allowing decoding of Morse identifiers for VOR or ILS stations. The receiver supports monitoring a second VOR, providing an additional VOR radial that enhances navigational accuracy by allowing quick and precise position fixes.
Built-in CDI
Equipped with a graphical CDI (Course Deviation Indicator), the TX56 allows pilots to navigate without requiring an external CDI. Additionally, it supports a variety of cockpit instruments. When tuned, the Nav receiver automatically decodes the Morse code of the station, displaying a direct bearing with the option to toggle between inbound and outbound radials.
Product Design
The compact, low-profile design of the TX56 does not require any external cooling fans, making it a prime choice for both new installations and retrofits. The TX56’s compatibility with legacy radios, such as the SL30 and KX155/KX165 models, makes it an ideal upgrade option. With the provided TX56 tray, installation and integration are seamless for customers replacing older units.
