Garmin XM Weather system
The Garmin GDL 69 is a remote datalink receiver
that delivers XM WX Satellite Weather™ to a variety of
Garmin navigation systems. For cockpit audio enter-
tainment, the sound-enabled GDL 69A also provides
XM Satellite Radio.
GDL 69 helps you make informed, safer decisions
based on the weather. With a subscription to XM WX
Satellite Weather, GDL 69 brings continuous, detailed
weather information to the 400 and 500 series naviga-
tors, G1000®, G900X™, G600™ and GMX 200™.
Data is provided through XM Satellite Radio’s XM WX
Weather Service using location-specific WxWorx infor-
mation. XM’s two powerful S-band geostationary satel-
lites, positioned over the east and west coasts, deliver
seamless, near real-time coverage at any altitude across
the continental United States. The weather suite’s high
resolution color graphics provide detailed NEXRAD and
METARs data, as well as current reports on precipita-
tion, lightning, winds-aloft, echo tops, TFRs and more.
With an additional monthly service fee, GDL 69A
delivers XM Satellite Radio to your aircraft. GDL 69A
interfaces with your cockpit audio panel control to play
through the aircraft’s audio system.

pable Avidyne-compatible receiver for XM Satellite WX
weather data. It supplies visual display information to

Garmin GWX 68 Radar
GWX 68 is a compact, 6.5 kW watt all-in-one an-
tenna/receiver/transmitter that provides 4-color storm
cell tracking to the GMX 200, G600, G900X or G1000.
The system’s selectable scan (up to 90 degrees) and
outstanding pulse range let you hone in on target areas
with even greater precision. Full pitch-and-roll stabili-
zation is available for smooth weather tracking during
climbs or turns. And with GWX 68’s side-view vertical
scanning function, you can profile storm tops, gradi-
ents and cell buildup activity at various altitudes.
Bendix/King RDR 2000 and
2100 Digital Weather Radar
Bendix/King’s RDR 2000 and RDR 2100 Digital
Weather Radar Systems (not pictured) utilize the latest
digital weather avoidance technology, including a more
complete picture of the storm with the Bendix/King
Vertical Profile
®
capability. Using Sensitivity Time Logic,
the system correlates target distance with intensity, and
its attenuation compensation reduces shadowing.
The RDR 2100 adds 50% more power (6 kW), 120º
scan and a 320 nm range. You can see over twice the
area of a 100º/240 nm scan. Additional RDR 2100 fea-
tures include:
• Auto range limiting – alerts you to areas that radar
energy cannot penetrate.
• Sector scans – allows you to reduce the scan time to
concentrate on the area you most want to review.
• Auto tilt - automatically manages tilt angle as the
aircraft climbs or descends.
