Hell yes! Our KX-170B (installed as Nav/Comm 2) works much better than our
fancy new Narco with DME. Damn thing is bullet proof. Pics up stations 40
miles farther out than the Narco. Obsolete it may be, but it's sure
servicable.

The former. Obsolete has nothing to do with serviceable. Lots of
KX-170's
are perfectly serviceable. They are also obsolete.
