Has anyone had any experience with these radios? Any feedback is much
appreciated. Thanks!!

About $1500 and it slips into the existing tray. The only complaints
we had were that the frequency-memory feature is complicated to use
and it's hard to remember the sequence of buttons. Twice, it froze
until whoever was flying it at the time recycled the avionics power
bus. This was a unit bought in, I think, 2001. We never contacted
Michel because they don't have a Web presence. (They do have a phone.
They're down around Phoenix -- Chandler, I think.)

We eventually redid the panel, replacing the MX170 with a KX125
because that gave us room for an old Apollo GPS that would work with
the STEC autopilot we were installing at the same time. We moved the
Michel to our 1961 C172, which we were selling, figuring the new radio
was a deal sweetner.
