The GTR 200 panel mount comm radio for experimental and light sport aircraft that offers a slim design and powerful features, including advanced auto-squelch, 3D audio, stereo intercom, stereo music input, alert inputs, best-in-class standby frequency monitoring, on-screen frequency identification, and much more.

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.

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.

GARMIN GTR 200 COM RADIO 10 WATT 25 KHZ SPACING NON TSO WITH INSTALLATION KIT

April 14, 2022

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.

Q: Can the GTR 200 radio fit into a SL 40 slot?

No, the GTR 200 is not a direct replacement for the SL 40 as it requires a new installation.

Q: What are the dimensions of the Garmin GTR 200?

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).

Q: Will the GTR 200 interface with other EFIS units like the GRT Sport SX as the SL-40 did to allow the EFIS to place a comm frequency in the standby of the GTR 200

Yes, Garmin still allows this feature in the GTR 200.

Q: Is the Garmin GTR 200 compatible with Dynon Skyview?

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.

Q: Does the GTR 200 fit the King 97 rack?

No, it will not fit as you will have to do a new installation with the GTR 200.

Q: Will the GTR 200 fit the slot left by removing a Narco 810 radio?

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.

Q: I did not see the music input on the face of the Garmin GTR 200. Is it a standard input 3.5mm jack? If so, where is it located?

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.

Q: Can I get data from my GPS Garmin Aera 500/695/795 using its Power/Data Cable into the GTR 200?

Yes, the date out line from the Aera will go to pin 24 on the GTR 200 (RS 232 In).

Q: Does the Garmin GTR 200 panel mount com radio mute the music audio input when an incoming radio transmission is received?

Per Garmin: Yes, it will.

Q: does the Garmin GTR 200 Comm come with a mounting tray?

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.
