It always pays to plan ahead. And with the Bendix/King KX 155 Nav/Comm, "stay ahead" frequency pre-planning is push-button simple.
Both NAV and COMM frequency displays on these units incorporate the popular “flip-flop” preselect feature. So, you can set up en route or approach frequency changeovers well in advance of your actual transition point or ATC handoff sequence for true “stay ahead” flight management.
Just select your upcoming NAV or COMM frequency in the “standby” (STBY) display, and you’re all set to “flip-flop” it into “active” status at the press of a button. This function may also be controlled from an optional remote mounted switch.
Both “active” and “standby” frequencies so you never have to worry about what’s being stored. And there’s no chance of inadvertently erasing it most.
An innovative non-volative memory circuit holds all the displayed frequencies in storage—through aircraft shutdowns or momentary power interruptions—without the need for battery power of any kind.
Large, self-dimming, microprocessor- controlled gas discharge readouts and solid-state electronic tuning provide fast, accurate selection of all 200 NAV and 760 COMM frequencies— and both the KX 155 and KX 165 feature a built-in 40-channel glideslope receiver. (As an option, they’re also available without the glideslope.)
On the COMM side, both the KX 155 and KX 165 systems give you 10 watts minimum transmitter power for maximum range and clarity.
This system includes an installation kit.
