As stated earlier we are looking to replace our KX-170B (our 2nd NAV/COM).
As I was doing some research I stumbled across the TKM MX-170 http://www.avionix.com/rev-tkm.html Bought one at OSH '99. Carried it out to my plane in the North 40, slid the old KX-170B out, slid the new MX-170 in, powered it up and made a log-book entry. Carried the old KX-170B to the dealer, who gave me cash on the barrel head for it. Good deal all around. It was the best radio I've used yet. Absolutely perfect operation, crystal clear reception and transmission. Only dumb part was the "frequency memory" feature, which was completely unusable in anything but perfectly calm conditions. (You had to push two buttons exactly simultaneously, if I'm remembering right, in order to access the stored frequencies. Try doing *that* in turbulence!) It went with my Warrior when we sold it. I wish I had it in my Pathfinder. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
