Introducing the RADIANT Altimeter + VSI Combo, a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or professional pilot. With a bright and clear display, the instrument is available as either 2 1/4" or 3 1/8 panel cutouts.
Altimeter + VSI Combo
This new Digital Altimeter has improvements in both value and price. It clearly displays altitude and vertical speed in both digital and replica analog format. We have also improved the internal numerical font representation, resulting in clear and visible digital numbers. Also improved is the size of the units, with availability for the larger 3 1/8 inch panel cutout. The overall thickness of the unit is also reduced to less than ½” (not including electrical connectors or bezel).
In a nutshell, this new product is similar to, yet distinct from, our older GEN-2 Digital Altimeter.It has an improved screen representation but does not include a barb adapter or an external temperature probe.
This chart compares the older GEN-2 Digital Altimeter with this new, value-driven instrument.
