FDL-DB Series controllers. Per AC20-165B the Squawk and IDENT should be controlled for the
Transponder and ADS-B Out Transmitter through a single point of entry. There should also be
an ADS-B Fault annunciation for both ADS-B GPS loss/fault and ADS-B failure.

The GTX-330 only outputs the call sign in a single message when it is powered on. The FDL-DB Series must be powered on
first in order to receive this message. If the call sign is received from the GTX-330, it is only set as the default call sign, and can be
changed using the TC978.
The table below contains the minimum compatible software versions as tested with the FDL-DB
