CCX Adds New Tester Features
CCX's T-RX avionics tester has expanded capabilities for testing GPS receivers and VHF datalink transceivers.

After introducing its new T-RX avionics radio testers a year ago, CCX Technologies has added a GPS signal generator and VDL Mode 2 capabilities to the testers.

Avionics technicians use the GPS signal generator to generate GPS signals with specific position and track information for testing GPS navigation systems. For aircraft that fly in airspace where controller-pilot datalink communication (CPDLC) is used in non-oceanic airspace, VDL Mode 2 (VHF datalink) is the technology for that capability. The T-RX’s new features allow for testing receiving and transmitting functions of the VDL Mode 2 transceiver. The new testing capabilities can be added to existing T-RX units.
