TT21 and TT22 Transponders

Chosen by pilots around the world Trig’s compact transponders are the best choice for good reason.

Fitting in the tightest panel space the innovative design saves weight and space. Trig is ‘better by design,’with Mode S technology that makes you visible to commercial, military and GA traffic, as a result transiting busy airspace becomes more predictable and stress free. Trig transponders are future proof too – the growing use of ADS-B further enhances your visibility and flight safety. Unlike other brands Trig transponders meet the very latest certification standard for ADS-B, FAA TSO-C166b.

Designed to be easier to use, with a clear bright display the controller even comes with a built in altitude encoder!  Join other pilots who have made Trig their compact transponder of choice – you’ll be in great company.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Trig’s compact transponder is in two parts with a compact control head; this includes an inbuilt altitude encoder – saving further space and expense. A separate hardware box can be installed anywhere in the airframe. The mounted control head is only 54mm (2 3/25”) deep and can be fitted in panel using a 57mm (2 ¼”) round hole or smaller compact mount – the unit ships with the necessary fittings for both install options. Our compact transponders are highly efficient, whilst used in a wide range of GA types they are ideally suited for use in gliders and balloons, via an auxiliary battery.

Trig’s compact transponders are easy to operate and have a crisp, bright display that’s easy to read in all lighting conditions and is equipped with manual dimming. The transponder control head is splash proof too, so it’s ideal for open cockpit and seaplane operations.

POWER OUTPUT AND ADS-B

Trig’s TT21 has a 130 watts nominal power output, making it a class 2 transponder that meets international standards for 1090ES ADS-B Out (TSO C166b). The TT21 is ideal for use in flight where a light weight Mode S solution is required and is suitable for both IFR and VFR use.

COMPATIBLE TRIG PRODUCTS

ADS-B enhances safety and visibility – your investment in a TT22 transponder is future proof. Trig has a matching certified GPS position source that is highly affordable called the TN72. This is ideal for ADS-B voluntary equipage and the TN72 can even be used to meet the 2020 mandate by light-sport, experimental and homebuilt types in the U.S.

Our TN70 GPS position source is suitable for certified Part 23 aircraft that need a TSO-C145 position source, for operations in 2020 rule ADS-B airspace using a TT22 transponder.

Customers in the U.S. should be aware that FAA, Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 91.227 requires that a compliant ADS-B Out solution uses a Class 1 transponder. The TT22 is a Class 1 device and meets this requirement. The TT21 is a Class 2 device and does not meet this regulation.

TY96 AND TY97 VHF RADIOS

The Trig stack radio has defined a new standard in design and is packed with pilot friendly features. The radio provides crisp and clear stereo communication, faster tuning, a user friendly programmable USB database, dual watch and Trig’s popular ‘Say Again’ feature.

Combining great quality and performance each radio is housed within a superbly engineered unit, slimline and light. At only 33mm high (1.3”) the radio saves valuable stack space, but retains innovative and practical features. Trig’s stack radios are designed for general and light-sport aviation, with features that both experienced and novice pilots really appreciate.

The stack radio display is clear and bright, showing both primary and secondary frequencies along with ICAO or custom set airfield identifiers. A ‘Push Step’ knob allows the fastest change from 8.33 kHz to 25 kHz (TY96/TY97) or 25 kHz to 50 kHz (TY96A/TY97A)- so you can tune the radio quickly without compromising your look-out.

The Dual Watch feature allows two frequencies to be monitored at the same time – it’s like having two radios in one.

The user configurable database, allows over 200 frequencies and identifiers to be downloaded to the radio from a CSV file – using the USB stick (provided). There are no subscription fees and this provides a highly flexible way to customise the radio for every flight by every pilot – perfect for fleet or club aircraft. Create your database here.

SAY AGAIN

The radio has a ‘Say Again’ feature. A single button press replays the last radio transmission.  This feature is ideal for student pilots, but every pilot can get distracted, so it avoids the embarrassment of asking air traffic to repeat a message.  A one touch Emergency Button automatically sets 121.5 MHz, along with volume levels. This ensures a successful transmission in what can be a stressful situation.

INTERCOM

Each radio has a built in two place intercom with auxiliary inputs for stereo music and audio warnings. Each radio can also integrate with a GPS navigator (SL40 and GTR225 protocol) to automatically display frequencies as they are required along the flight route. Finally, an airfield database can be loaded via the handy USB port. This database can contain over 200 of your preferred frequencies and identifiers.

PRODUCT DESIGN

The radio’s low profile design requires no external cooling fans.  The radios compact size and features make it a great choice for both forward and retro-fit installations. Each radio is designed to easily integrate with legacy radios, these include popular KY 196A, KY 197A and SL 40 models.

TY91 AND TY92 VHF RADIOS

Trig’s compact radio is the ideal retro-fit that can be installed in the smallest panel. The TY91 is certified and highly capable. Easy to use and faster to tune, it takes up minimal space and weight. The unique ‘Push Step’ feature provides the fastest in class frequency selection. Dual Watch allows you to monitor two channels at the same time – it’s like having two radios in one. Compatibility with various EFIS systems enables remote control of the TY91 radio – it can even populate the on-route frequency from a connected GPS. A memory function provides fast frequency selection for your most used frequencies. A built-in intercom with mic gain adjustment on each headset ensures great performance, even when headsets brands don’t match.

FEATURES

• Compact size, low weight – takes minimal panel space, only 74mm deep
• Unique ‘Push Step’ feature provides the ‘fastest in class’ frequency selection
• Dual watch – monitor two frequencies at the same time
• Manual dimming feature (adjustable backlight)
• Dual Control – two controller option for tandem cockpits
• Simple Installation
• Free European Minor Change approvals

PRODUCT FEATURES

With a crisp clear display and simple user interface the Trig radio benefits from some great features; ‘Dual Watch’ feature allows monitoring of two frequencies at the same time. There are 9 pre-set channel memories which are easily selectable.

Trig’s compact radio is EASA ETSO and FAA TSO approved so it can be used worldwide. Our ‘Push Step’ feature enables the fastest tuning  in its class – three times faster than in an 8.33 environment! For customers who do not require 8.33 channel spacing this feature can be disabled, allowing speedy selection between 50 kHz and 25 kHz spacing. This enables rapid change of frequency whilst providing fine tuning in 25 kHz steps if required.

Trig radios also feature a built-in high quality two place intercom with an aux-input, saving further cost and weight.

GPS COMPATIBILITY

The radio can integrate with popular GPS units; this allows the automatic display of en-route radio frequencies. Control of the radio via an EFIS display is also possible using industry standard SL40 and GTR225 protocols. This unique capability integrates your Trig radio with other avionics and provides real user flexibility.

PRODUCT DESIGN

The innovative use of a control head and separate radio hardware unit provides more installation options, especially when space is at a premium. The control head can be conveniently mounted in a full 57mm (2 ¼”) round hole or even smaller compact mount. Fitting is straightforward, and once installed the depth of the radio control head is only 74mm (3”). In practice this means that the Trig compact control head can be located in an aircraft instrument panel where a ‘single box’ radio will simply not fit. The compact radio is the perfect comms partner to our compact transponder Mode S (1090 ES ADS-B Out transponders).

PUSH STEP

The compact radio display is clear and bright, showing both primary and secondary frequencies. A ‘Push Step’ knob allows the fastest change from 8.33 kHz to 25 kHz – so you can tune the radio quickly without compromising your look-out. The Dual Watch feature allows two frequencies to be monitored at the same time – it’s like having two radios in one.

HEADSETS

The Trig compact radio two place intercom is optimised for use with standard aviation headsets – a number of adjustments allow the radio to be used successfully in noisy aircraft.  The compact radio also has a built in speaker amplifier that can drive an external speaker, this is preferred by some glider pilots. If using a dynamic microphone with a Trig radio please note an amplified adaptor will be required.
