Garmin GTR 200 Panel Mount COM Radio
FREE Shipping
Overview
Important Notes:
The GTR 200 is the first to integrate advanced audio panel features like a two place auto-squelch stereo intercom, which senses the amount of sound in the cockpit and automatically adjusts the mic squelch for effortless intercom use regardless of the cockpit noise level. With 3D audio, the GTR 200 makes it easy to discern between the active and monitored standby frequencies as well as the other passengers. The radio’s best-in-class standby monitor is enhanced with patent-pending digital processing, so it seems as though there are two radios in one. With its advanced integration with the Garmin G3X glass flight display, or other compatible Garmin portable products, the GTR 200 is able to receive a frequency and identifier in the comm’s standby position directly from the G3X’s waypoint page, allowing the pilot to ensure accurate transfer and reduce workload. This same integration, automatically, and without the need for a database, displays the airport identifier and type on the GTR 200, like “KOSH ATIS” should the pilot manually tune the frequency. And further, these compatible Garmin portable products, constantly stream the flight plan and nearest airports to the GTR 200 for quick access and retrieval of any airport frequency with a single push of the knob. Accessing these features on the GTR 200 is extremely easy and intuitive, with a sunlight readable display and built-in shortcuts including configurable soft keys to help reduce cockpit workload (for example, configuring one-touch access to music mute or pilot isolate). Optionally installed switches, typically on the flight controls, allow pilots to keep their hands on the controls while performing functions like swapping active and standby frequencies. And for easy retrieval of the most commonly used frequencies, the GTR 200 stores up to 20 pilot-defined frequencies as well as the 20 most recent frequencies used for easy retrieval. The radios are easy to install, with a standard density 37 pin connector and they support both 14 and 28 volt aircraft and offer 25 kHz channel spacing. List of compatabile Garmin Products:

Reviews
As expected, delivered on time as expected, only minor complaint is wiring harness free ends are unlabaelled so some tracing will be required to figure out the 5 or 6 free ends. Power ground ptt dim etc.. Annoying but not a huge issue.

I do not like anything made by Garmin. They do not know what intuitive user interface is. Period. Also their technical support is terrible. I purchased this radio for lack of options. The ones that I wanted to buy were out of stock. Well, here I was purchasing a Garmin product for the first time. I have to admit, the radio impressed me very well. What I really like about the whole thing is the installation manual. Its really well written. It explains every single step of the way on how to install it. Seriously, a kid can do it just reading the manual. After installation I call Ground here at KCHD and the radio was working great. Clear and loud. One of the high points of this radio for me is the display. I can see the big number even when the sun is hitting the panel directly. Very good radio. I cannot say anything about lasting. Time will tell. Will see.

No, the GTR 200 is not a direct replacement for the SL 40 as it requires a new installation.
Total product footprint is 1.35” tall by 6.25” wide. Has only a 9.4” behind-the-panel depth including connectors (8” without connectors), 1.34 lbs (1.91 lbs. with rack and connectors).
Yes, Garmin still allows this feature in the GTR 200.
The Garmin GTR 200 can be used as the com radio for a Skyview system but does not connect to the Skyview to show com frequencies on the Skyview display.
No, it will not fit as you will have to do a new installation with the GTR 200.
No, this will not side into the Narco 810. Also note the GTR 200 is not a certified radio and is intended for experimental aircraft only.
There is not a 3.5mm jack on the unit as the music source is from the back of the unit and you attach the 3.5mm jack to it.
Yes, the date out line from the Aera will go to pin 24 on the GTR 200 (RS 232 In).
Per Garmin: Yes, it will.
The Garmin GTR 200 Panel mount Radio Standard Kit comes with Rack, Connector Kit, and Back plate. The Standard Kit + Harness" model includes all the same with the addition of the harness.
