Complete All-in-One Test Capability
The SDR-OMNI combines the capabilities of multiple traditional avionics test instruments into one compact system. Depending on configuration, it supports ATC transponder, ADS-B, TCAS, VOR, ILS, DME, communications, emergency beacon, audio, and RF cable testing.
Its combination of hardware and software provides broad RF test capability across approximately 200 kHz to 1.5 GHz while reducing the number of separate test sets technicians must transport, maintain, calibrate, and operate.
Designed for Commercial and Military Applications
The SDR-OMNI Series supports general aviation, corporate aviation, airline, government, military, manufacturing, depot, and flight line maintenance organizations. Multiple configurations allow customers to select the capabilities best suited for their operational and regulatory requirements.
