So I’m trying to figure out if I can do something to hold me over for a complete panel re-do.
I’m putting in a RNGR 978 XVR ADS-B system and it has the TC678 controller along with the FWF25 WiFi adapter so I can get it on my iPad. It currently has a G400W and two digital KX170B replacement radios.
The plan is to put either a 480 in or a 540 (or both) along with a GTX33 remote transponder. The GTX33 requires a controller being a remote mounted box, and either the 480 or 540 can do that, I think via a 429 connection to the 33 (still hunting an installation manual for the XPDR).
It will be next year during the annual (or maybe even the year after) before I can take the plane down long enough to do the rest of the avionics (which includes the radio change) and I was thinking *MAYBE* I could use the TC678 controller to control both the remote transponder AND the 978.
The way the wiring talks about the system is that *IF* you have a remote transponder and it loses comm with the controlling system for that transponder, the TC678 control panel takes over the function of the controller.
I’m wondering if anyone has set up the system like this, with one control head (the TC678) controlling both a GTX33 remote transponder AND the 978 box so that I don’t have to re-wire and re-program the whole thing when we do the rest of the avionics.
Thanks!
