The package also includes a FreeFlight 978 MHz receiver - the FDL-978-RX.

The RANGR FDL-1090-TX is one of the smallest Mode S extended squitter transponders for GA aircraft. The system includes a compact panel-mounted controller and built-in altitude encoder. The controller's intuitive controls feature positive-control knobs and push buttons for squawk codes, IDENT, VFR and for viewing ADS-B position data on a sunlight-readable, backlit LCD display.
