Does it work well?  I have a Com 2 that is very noisy when used for transmissions.

[dcrogers11]

Yes, worked well for me.  I almost kept it in my recent re-build.  Only problem was it really was going to look bad with the rest of the panel and radio stack being brand new.  If you get it and bench test it and you're not happy with it in 30 days, send it back for full refund.

 

Thanks,

Don

What did you replace it with?  When I re-did my panel, I replaced my KY197 with a Garmin GTR225.  It was a very similar story.  The KY197 is a great radio, but it didn't look good in the new panel.

 Yes, I went with the 225 as well.

I have a KY197 working perfectly for sale, if anyone still interested. Upgrading the radio stack. $500 including shipping (as I am shipping from Europe) or nearest offer. This has been my main Com1 radio and has been flawless, but we need 8.33 spacing in Europe for IFR as of now. I have not pulled it from the stack yet, but if any takers can ship next week prior to the aircraft going for its annual. As you can see my panel is overdue for upgrade, but in the meantime I am keeping the other one on the right (ky96a) for now as it is more recent and is 760 channels (ky 197 is 720 I believe?), but will replace it soon as well.

As requested, I have uploaded a couple pictures of my KY 197 for sale, my last flight, long flight across France at night. Sorry I don't have any better pictures of it right now as it I am away from the aircraft, but can pull it out of the rack next week and take more photos if needed.
