Trig TX56A Complete Nav/Com Radio - FAA TSO - 10 Watt Transmit Overview:

The Trig Avionics TX57A NAV / COM unit provides the ideal platform to update legacy avionics or equip a new aircraft.

With its customizable frequency database and dual frequency monitoring, the TX56 Nav/Com is designed to help you stay connected with air traffic control and your fellow pilots. It also features Trig's "Say Again" feature, which replays the last received transmission, ensuring you never miss a critical message.

Measuring 33 mm high and featuring 8.33 kHz channel spacing, the TX56 Nav/Com is the perfect addition to any cockpit. The TX56 Nav/Com also includes a two-place intercom and built-in digital course deviation indicator (CDI), making it ideal for VFR and IFR pilots alike.

 The Nav/Com display is clear and bright, showing both primary and secondary frequencies along with airfield / VOR identifiers. A 'Push Step' knob allows the fastest change from 25 kHz to 50 kHz.

Trig's 'better by design' approach means that the TX56 Nav/Com has been created to meet the needs of all pilots. Whether you're a VFR pilot looking for VOR navigational backup, a flight school seeking an easy-to-use training platform, or a serious VFR/IFR operator looking for reliable digital capabilities, the TX56 Nav/Com is the perfect solution for you.

PUSH STEP
The Nav/Com display is clear and bright, showing both primary and secondary frequencies along with airfield / VOR identifiers. A ‘Push Step’ knob allows the fastest change from 8.33 kHz to 25 kHz (TX56/TX57) or 25 kHz to 50 kHz (TX56A/TX57A)- so you can tune the Nav/Com quickly without compromising your look-out. Dual Watch feature allows you to monitor two Com or Nav frequencies at the same time – it’s like having a second radio.

SAY AGAIN
The radio has a ‘Say Again’ feature. A single button press replays the last radio transmission. This feature is ideal for student pilots, but every pilot can get distracted, so it avoids the embarrassment of asking air traffic to repeat a message.

VOR
The Nav receiver is optimised to provide stress free operation. Both the TX56 and TX57 will decode Morse, identifying VORs or ILS. The Nav receiver can monitor a second VOR which significantly enhances route navigation. This means that a standby VOR radial can be displayed in addition to the primary VOR – allowing the pilot to quickly calculate an accurate position fix.

BUILT IN CDI
The unit display features a graphical CDI (course deviation indicator) This allows the pilot to navigate without an external CDI. The TX56 also provides support for various display options, using a range of external cockpit instruments.

Once tuned the Nav receiver can identify the station by de-coding its Morse identifier, automatically identifying the selected VOR. Automatic centering of the CDI needle displays a direct bearing to a selected VOR for ease of navigation whilst the to/from button allows you to display the inbound or outbound radial.

PRODUCT DESIGN
The Nav/Com’s low profile design requires no external cooling fans. The compact size and features make it a great choice for both forward and retro-fit installations. Each Nav/Com is designed to easily integrate with legacy products, these include the popular SL30 which is the same height as a TX56. Customers replacing legacy KX155 and KX165 models will easily accommodate a TX56 in their stack, in all cases a TX56 tray will need to be fitted.

Includes installation kit.

Also available as the Trig TX57A which is the same thing but increases the transmit power from 10 Watt (TX56) to 16 Watt (TX57)
