I have a TKM and love it. Even though the prices are about the same,
the TKM Is a NEW radio with 2 years warranty (IIRC). Serviced at the
factory n Scottsdale if needed. They used to have a flat rate repair
policy that someone mentioned is no longer in effect, not sure. I
really haven't heard of any problems with them and everyone seems to
like them.

My two KX 170B NavComs are getting a bit tired. The tuning gears have been
replaced, and after several years are now getting really stiff and hard to
turn again. Apart from the mechanical parts, the radios both work just
fine.

I am looking at three alternatives; having them repaired again, getting the
MAC 1700VTX conversion, or replacing them with TKM MX-170B units. The
conmversion and the TKM units seem to be about the same price.

What is the collective wisdom of this newsgroup? Does anyone have direct
experience with both the MAC and TKM products?
