    Why does my Garmin GTR 225 Transceiver show 'COM RADIO - COM overtemp or undervoltage. Reducing transmitter power'?
    • E
      Elizabeth TranSep 4, 2025
      This message indicates that the COM radio is in overtemp or undervoltage mode, and transmitting power has been reduced to prevent damage. To address this, decrease the length of COM transmissions, lower the cabin temperature, and increase cabin airflow, especially near the GTR. Also, check the aircraft voltage and reduce electrical load as necessary. Contact dealer for service if this message persists.
