The conventional wisdom seems to be that the KX-155 is the gold

I wouldn't say the 155 is the gold standard. They were 15 years ago.
Now King is getting dangerously close to Narco territory. They have
been so hopelessly outclassed the last decade in GPS and Comm technology
I'd be suprised if they can come back. I have an Apollo SL40 in my 182
and love it, the SL30 is the same thing with a Nav. Now however they
are a part of the Garmin family and are still being sold.


I thought they were attractive and have seen some good reviews of them. They are
listed on the Garmin web site under "discontinued products".
