Bendix King KT -73

[aqualla]

I couldn't find any information online about the KT-73, does it take serial input from an encoder or is it also grey code like the KT-76 A/C? I would think because it has mode S it would want better resolution then 100ft. Love to know if this transpoder will work directly with my new D10A. If it does, any idea which string of data it likes between thet 4 you have? Thanks again. David

Hi David,

I looked online also can't tell whether or not the KT-73 has the ability to accept serial input. The best source of information would likely be that product's installation manual.

If you look at the following page under "Encoders", you will see a reference that the KT-73 accepts Gray Code. Whether or not this is the only format accepted I cannot answer, but it appears as though having a converter in there won't do any damage.
