KX170B replacement options
"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... Why not just get a real KX-170B? Its actually quite a funky radio. The buttonology is just different than anything else. The top of the radio is comm and the bottom is nav. However, the top knob works big numbers and the bottom works the decimals. There is a C/N button that flips between com/nav for the knobs. Not what you'd expect. Also, if you turn the nav off the display is still active. The display on the nav turns off when you turn the comm off. I'd be willing to bet one of two things. The user interface was either (a) designed by a good engineer that wasn't a pilot or (b) an engineer two days out of college. Nobody familiar with avionics would have made those blunders. Jim |
