5 Introduction
5.1 Description
5.1.1 Transponder
The EchoESX is a Mode S, Level 2els transponder with support for ADS-B
extended squitter. The EchoESX has a nominal power output of 250W and
meets the power output requirements for Class 1. The ADS-B function
meets DO-260B class B1S.
This transponder replies to both legacy Mode A/C interrogations and to
Mode S interrogations from both ground radar and airborne collision
avoidance systems. In all cases, the interrogations are received by the
transponder on 1030MHz and replies are transmitted on 1090MHz.
5.1.2 ADS-B Capabilities
The echoESX includes ADS-B Out capabilities when installed with an
approved external GPS position source.
5.2 Interfaces
