Garmin GTR 205xR - 010-03396-01
The Garmin GTR 205xR is a remote-mount VHF COMM radio for experimental aircraft that combines space-saving installation with communication and audio capability. Its 2,280-channel capacity, 10 watts of transmit power, and integration with AXIS Flight Display or G3X Touch displays make it a focused option for managing radio communications from a compatible display.
Display-Based Frequency Selection
Reduce frequency-entry steps by looking up airport communications on an AXIS Flight Display or G3X Touch display and sending a selected frequency to standby. Frequency ID can also show the tuned frequency’s identifier and type.
Stay Aware of ATIS
Monitor a standby COMM frequency while remaining on the active channel. Frequency memory and recall support quick access to frequently or recently used frequencies.
Integrated Cabin Audio
Support clearer two-place communication with the built-in intercom, auto squelch, and pilot-isolate function. Stereo 3D audio processing and configurable music EQ settings help distinguish and tailor audio sources.
VHF COMM Operation
The GTR 205xR supports pilot-selectable 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz channel spacing across 2,280 channels. Tap the standby position to enter or locate a frequency, then tap the active frequency to switch channels. The radio provides 10 watts of transmit power.
Audio And Device Connectivity
The radio supports up to four AUX inputs, including two channels for stereo audio plus mono audio alerts and other sources. Bluetooth 5.0 supports A2DP and AVRCP for music and HFP for phone use, with one connected device at a time and storage for up to eight paired devices. Supported music sources include phones, tablets, GDL 51/52, and Garmin D2 Delta watches.
Configuration Support
The remote-mount format helps conserve panel space while placing radio control through the connected display. Firmware updates are free and field loadable by micro-SD card. Audio features and display-driven functions depend on the stated connected equipment and configuration.

Save space with the remote-mount GTR 205xR COMM radio, and add advanced communication and audio capabilities to your panel.
VHF COMM TRANSCEIVER
The 2,280-channel capable VHF COMM radio offers 10 watts of transmit power plus pilot-selectable 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz channel spacing. Simply tap the standby position to enter or find your frequency, then tap the active frequency to switch.
FIND A FREQUENCY
Enter an airport identifier into your AXIS Flight Display or G3X Touch display to look up frequencies for that location (tower, ground, ATIS, clearance delivery, etc.) Then, send the selected frequency to the standby position on the 205xR radio.
FREQUENCY ID
The GPS on your AXIS Flight Display or G3X Touch enables frequency ID to show your tuned frequency’s identifier and type, including tower, ATIS, center and more. So you know who you’re talking to.
STANDBY COMM MONITORING
Listen to a standby frequency, such as ATIS, without leaving your active channel.
INSTANT RECALL
With frequency memory and recall, you can quickly tune your most frequently or recently used frequencies.
TWO-PLACE INTERCOM
Communicate clearly with your passenger via the built-in intercom. The pilot-isolate feature allows you to focus on COMM radio communications or for your passenger to listen to music without radio interruptions.
AUTO SQUELCH TECHNOLOGY
Auto squelch allows GTR 205xR to automatically sense noise levels in the cockpit and adjust the mic squelch for easy intercom use regardless of the cockpit noise level.
3D AUDIO PROCESSING
With your stereo headset, hear each audio source as if it’s coming from a unique location — so it’s easier to differentiate between sources.
EQ SETTINGS
Music settings allow you to select enhanced bass boost levels as well as equalizer effects that include rock, classical and pop audio profiles.
AUXILIARY INPUTS
GTR 205xR is capable of up to four AUX inputs, including two channels for stereo audio plus mono audio alerts and more.
Radio Type
GNC 215 NAV/COMM units include a VHF NAV radio in addition to a COMM radio.
