Can anyone tell me the difference between the GTX 345R and the GTX 45R?
I have a GTX345 in my Mooney, and I'm considering a remote mount unit in the RV-10, but I can't quite figure out the difference between the 345R and the 45R. Is it just that the 45R is for experimental only?
Also, I saw somewhere a reference that stated the 345R transmits ADS-B in, TIS, etc. via Bluetooth to the G3X Touch, but that doesn't seem right. In the G3X Touch installation manual, section Figure 27-2.13 shows "ADS-B Traffic/Weather" connecting between the GTX X45(R) and the GDU 4XX via RS232, so I'm assuming the bluetooth idea is incorrect--I'd imagine it's only really for connecting externally to a tablet or phone?
Also also, in the Garmin documentation, "aircraft grade" CAT 5 Ethernet cable is called out for the ADS-B connections between the GTX and the GTN navigators...is there anything really special about aircraft grade CAT 5? is it reinforced, or have stranded conductors or something to strengthen it against vibration? I have a 1000 foot spool of CAT 6E plenum grade ethernet cable sitting around from another project, just wondering if it could be used.
