VHF COMM TRANSCEIVER
The 2,280-channel capable VHF COMM radio offers standard 10 watts (or optional 16 watts with enablement) of transmit power plus pilot-selectable 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz channel spacing and automatic or manual squelch. Swap your active and standby frequencies with a single touch of a button.

FIND A FREQUENCY
Enter an airport identifier, and let the GTR 205 radio look up frequencies for that location (tower, ground, ATIS, clearance delivery, etc.) from its worldwide database. Then send the selected frequency to the standby position.

FREQUENCY ID
Pair with your compatible GPS source to enable frequency ID and show your tuned frequency’s identifier and type, including tower, ATIS, center and more. So you always know who you’re talking to.

STANDBY COMM MONITORING
