1.7.3 Power Requirements
1.8 License Requirements
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, effective February 8, 1996, provides the FCC discretion to
eliminate radio station license requirements for aircraft and ships. The GTX 23 installation must comply
with current transmitter licensing requirements. To find out the specific details on whether a particular
installation is exempt from licensing, please visit the FCC web site
http://wireless.fcc.gov/aviation.
If an aircraft license is required, make application for a license on FCC form 404, Application for Aircraft
Radio Station License. The FCC also has a fax-on-demand service to provide forms by fax. The GTX 23
owner accepts all responsibility for obtaining the proper licensing before using the GTX 23.
The UHF transmitter in this equipment is guaranteed to meet federal
communications commission acceptance over the operating temperature range.
Modifications not expressly approved by Garmin could invalidate the license and
make it unlawful to operate the equipment.
