The AXP340 is a panel-mount Mode S transponder with support
for 1090 MHz Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast
(ADS-B) Extended Squitter (ES), al
so known as “ADS-B Out” that
meets all the requirements for Mode S elementary surveillance
transponders for both IFD and VFR flight.

legacy Mode A/C interrogations and to Mode S interrogations
from both ground radar and airborne collision avoidance systems.
It transmits the required ADS-B Out signals including GPS-
derived position along with ground track, ground speed, and
altitude information.
