==== Intro ==== | |||
The Garmin GHA-15 radar altimeter starts reporting altitude somewhere between 300 and 550 ft. It transmits at 24 GHz with very low power (milliwatts) compared to COM radios and transponders (20 / 150 Watts). 24 GHz is not the controversial frequency that has interference issues with cell towers.<br>It needs very little power and the connector accepts 22 AWG wire or thinner (you can transition to a 22 AWG lead wire near the connector if you want to run a thicker wire). | |||
