Roger, I imagine that your KNS-80 is currently coupled to a Bendix/King
KI-206 VOR/ILS indicator/resolver. If so, I think it is true that the
Garmin 430 will drive this indicator, without the need for replacing the
indicator.

Yes, it is.

I also have the S-Tec 50 coupled to the KNS-80 and would hope it's
possible to do that with the 430 or what ever I end up using.

I keep thinking that they will be replacing the 430 with something
newer and more flexible, or just different. It has been out long
enough for something else to be coming along.

Thanks all,

Without question, a Garmin 430. I recently saw an avionics shop ad for
$7900, installed, including the required GI-106A.

Best,
Karl

Well it looks like it's about time to replace the old KNS-80 RNAV.
That thing has had a lot of use, it's getting old, and it's been in
the shop a number of times.

Currently the frequency selector appears to need cleaning, but I'm not
sure how long it has left.

So, I'm looking into a certified GPS that will fill the hole left by
the KNS-80. It's also going to need to drive the GS/Localizer head.
Not being current on GPSs I see what appear to be a number that would
probably work.

Any socially acceptable suggestions?
