Detailed Operation
Radar (RADAR) Function
The MX20 I/O Radar product supports an interface for the Garmin GWX 68, Allied Signal/Bendix-King
ART2000/2100, and RS-181A weather radars. The GWX 68 must be installed via a separate installation
approval. The GWX 68, RS-181A, and ART2000 weather radars are seamlessly integrated with the other
functionality of the MX20 with a “RADAR” option available from the main function menu. Note that auto-tilt
is not supported for the ART2000/2100. The ART2100 must be configured to emulate the ART2000. As a
result, only the ART2000 functions are available with the ART2100.
The MX20 operates as both a display and radar control head, allowing direct replacement of older display sys-
tems. The modes and features supported by the MX20 for each of the radar heads are detailed in the following
table. Review the Limitations section in the front of this guide for the limitations that apply to the radar data.
