Aviation enthusiasts will know that 2007 marks the hundredth anniversary of helicopter flight; fewer people realize the efforts made by individual companies in contributing to this phenomenal success story. One such company is Becker Avionics International.
With many years proven experience gained with the reliable MR506/ MR509 PLB, Becker Avionics announces a new model, the MR510. Reducing weight, size, power consumption, implementing water activation, V/UHF voice communication, and including 16 channel GPS based on the latest technolo-gyy, the result is the most advanced PLB available today.

Becker Avionics, Inc. a leading supplier of communication, navigation, surveillance and search & rescue products announced today the release of the BXP6403 Mode S transponder. Becker Avionics is ready to help you meet the future requirements of transponder technology with the BXP6403 by enhancing safety, situational awareness through the use of traffic information and provides an effective replacement to the KT76A.
The BXP6403 Mode S transponder is a retrofit for the Bendix-King KT76A; designed to install in the same tray and wiring, a true drop in replacement. Legacy transponders require a warm up time and are costly to repair. The BXP6403 has a sunlight readable display, requires no warm up time, incorporates state-of-the-art-technology and has an industry leading two year factory warranty. The transponder is FAA and EASA certified. For most small aircraft, the transmitting power of the Class 2 (150w) is sufficient. However, for aircraft flying above 15,000 feet, the Class 1 (250w) is more suitable.
