This kit includes all required parts to use a VT-01 (Class 1) transponder module with an AIR Control Display (ACD-57).

What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2:

Class 1 transponders are more powerful and increase your visibility to ground radar stations during long flights at higher altitudes (15,000ft+). For most glider pilots, a Class 2 transponder is sufficient and uses less battery power.
