Detailed Operation
Radar (RADAR) Function
The GMX 200 I/O Radar product supports an
interface for the Garmin GWX 68, Allied Signal/
Bendix-King ART2000/2100, and RS 181A/RS 811A
weather radars. The GWX 68, RS 181A/RS 811A, and
ART2000 weather radars are seamlessly integrated
with the other functionality of the GMX 200 with a
“RADAR” function 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
GWX 70 may be used when configured as a GWX 68.
The GMX 200 operates as both a display and
control head, allowing direct replacement of older
display systems. The modes and features supported by
the GMX 200 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.
