12.12.2 FDL-978 Lite Series Interface Configuration Details
12.12.2.1

Control Data Interface

FAA AC 20-165A HIGHLY recommends that the ADS-B transmitter and
transponder share a single point of entry for Mode A (Squawk Code) and IDENT.
Dual entry installations are allowed but discouraged and must ensure that the
transponder and UAT transmit the same Mode A and IDENT without increased
pilot workload. Garmin Series transponders (GTX-330/327/32/33) must be
connected to the GTX-REMOTE Input port on the FDL-978 Lite Series to control
Mode A code and IDENT. Mode A/C transponders will automatically use the
FDL-978 Lite Series internal Mode A receiver to monitor the on-board
transponder transmissions to set Mode A code and IDENT. Mode A receive is
not compatible with Mode S transponders.
