Apollo GX-60 IFR-Approach GPS / Moving Map / COMM Transceiver. Condition is "Used".
The II Morrow / Garmin AT Apollo GX-60 offers all the capability of the GX-50 IFR Approach certified GPS, but it also adds a very sophisticated COMM transceiver. The COMM section in the GX-60 is a 760 channel radio with active / standby flip-flop. It is possible to listen to the standby frequency while the radio monitors the active frequency for any activity. This is almost like having two separate radios, because you can gather additional information on another frequency while making sure you are not missing a transmission. The COMM transceiver in the GX-60 offers a very respectable 8 watts minimum output (more than a KX-170B, for example). Many GPS/COMM radios are less powerful than a dedicated COMM or the COMM section of a NAV/COMM, but that is not the case with the GX-60.The GX-60 operates with 14/28 V input. The COMM section of a GPS/COMM often restricts the whole radio to 14 V operation (or requires the use of a voltage converter). The GX-60 avoids the cost, heat, weight, complexity, and potential failure point of a voltage converter in a 28 V aircraft.
