Detailed Operation
Enter Code (GDL 90 UAT only)
This is where you enter the ATC-assigned transponder code. This code entered into the MX20 does NOT
control the code on Mode A, C, or S transponders. It only sends the selected code to the GDL 90 UAT for
inclusion into the position report. The MX20 must be configured as the UAT’s control panel to make this func-
tion available.
Set 1200
Pressing the Set 1200 key inserts the code 1200 into the Flight ID. This code entered into the MX20 does
NOT control the code on Mode A, C, or S transponders.
Services
The Services option allows emergency broadcast functions to be sent over the data-link radio. When pressed, a
list of standard emergency/service codes will be presented. The desired broadcast function can be selected and
broadcast by pressing the TRANS (Transmit) “smart” key or cancelled by pressing the CANCEL “smart key.”
When a special service code is being transmitted, the services label is illuminated. To terminate the broadcast,
press the SERVICES option again. Once terminated, the code will revert back to the previously set code. The
MX20 must be configured as the UAT’s control panel to make this function available.
