Features that matter
The Trig TX56 NAV/COM features a 10-watt Comm radio suited for most general aviation use.

The unique ‘Push Step’ knob allows the fastest tuning across voice channels, ensuring you can focus on flying whilst communicating.
Trig TX56 Dual Watch feature allows you to monitor two Com or Nav frequencies at the same time – it’s like having a second radio.

The radio also features Trig’s ‘Say Again’ technology – a single button press replays the last radio transmission. The Com also features a built-in two-place intercom with inputs for stereo music and auxiliary audio warnings.
The Nav receiver is optimized to provide stress-free operation. Trig TX56 will decode Morse, identifying VORs or ILS. The Nav receiver can monitor a second VOR, which significantly enhances route navigation. This means that a standby VOR radial can be displayed in addition to the primary VOR – allowing the pilot to calculate an accurate position fix quickly.
The unit display features a graphical CDI (course deviation indicator), which allows the pilot to navigate without an external CDI. The TX56 also provides support for various display options, using a range of external cockpit instruments. The automatic centering of the CDI needle displays a direct bearing to a selected VOR for ease of navigation, whilst the to/from button allows you to display the inbound or outbound radial.
Integration benefits

The ability to integrate the Nav/Com with a suitable GPS (Garmin protocol) allows the automatic display of frequencies along a flight route. Finally, a customizable database can be loaded via the handy USB port, this can contain over 200 of your Com and over 200 Nav frequencies and identifiers. warnings.
