Figure 4. (Sheet 1 of 1) KGX Control Panel
(5)
Display and Controls
(a)
It has a LCD status display, an IDT (identify) button, a VFR (visual flight rule) button, a FN
(function) button, ENT (enter) button, a mode selection knob, and a CODE entry knob.
(6)
Altitude Encoder
(a)
It has a built-in altitude encoder to measure pressure altitude.
(7)
Input Power
(a)
It receives low-voltage power from the KGX 150/130 transceivers.
(8)
Serial Interface
(a)
An RS-485 serial data link is used to connect the KGX control panel to the KGX 150/130
transceivers.
(9)
Remote On/Off
(a)
System on/off power is controlled with the mode selection knob.
(10) Altitude Output
(a)
Pressure altitude data is output on an RS-232 serial port.

UAT Antenna Requirements
(1)
The KGX 150/130 transceivers and receivers require a TSO-C66, C74, C112, or C154 UHF
antenna(s). Make sure that the antenna has a 50-ohm impedance with a VSWR of less than
1.7:1 at 978 MHz. The Honeywell KA 61 UAT antenna (L-band antenna), PN 071-00221-0010,
meets these requirements.
(2)
In Class A1H ADS-B equipment (TSO-C154c) installations, antenna diversity (meaning a top
and bottom antenna) is required. In Class A1S (single antenna) installations only one antenna
(bottom) is used. For airworthiness approval of ADS-B out systems (AC 20-165A) single
bottom mounted antenna (TSO-C154c Class A1S) installations are allowed.
