Trig Avionics TY91 and TY92 COM Radio
SkyView can display COM radio information from the ATR833, GTR 200, GTR 225, GNC 255,
TY91, and TY92 on the SkyView top bar and send COM frequencies to them (TUNE COM).
Note that SkyView does not send database information for the GTR 200 to enable the GTR
200’s “Nearest or Flight Plan Airports” feature.
Connect the radio’s serial RX to a SkyView serial TX. If you have more than one SkyView
display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Connect the radio’s serial TX to one of the SkyView serial RX pins on each display. If you
have more than one SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Ensure there is a shared ground between the SkyView display, and the radio. If you have
more than one SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Configure the serial port on the radio appropriately.
Configure the serial port: SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP > SERIAL
PORT x SETUP > SERIAL IN DEVICE >

have more than one SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Ensure there is a shared ground between the SkyView display and the ELT. If you have more
than one SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
