You don't need push to test, as the GPS tests them on power-up. You
don't need auto-dimming, either. A switch an a zenner will do just
fine. So, while it's nice to use the Ameri-King unit, you can roll you
own. I've flown a plane with just such a set-up, and it was IFR
approved, too.
My GNS480 is too far to the right to qualify for "annunciator less"
operation. i've got two of those "rotate to dim -- press to test"
bulbs like is used for everything else on my panel.
