Nemesis Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 This is a VOR/LOC/GS indicator with an internal GS receiver mainly used for a KX-170B. I would like to get one of these indicators as it would be a simple path for a backup or second ILS. I don't want to spend any real money on the panel before I go for an Aspen and WAAS upgrade. I have non-precision KLN-89B that I am happy with for the time being. If you have one, please let me know it's current status or last known functional state. Thanks, Dave 1 Quote
jetdriven Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 You can swap a KI-209 for not much money and it's a simple pin swap at the connector to install it. Quote
Schinderhannes Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 You can swap a KI-209 for not much money and it's a simple pin swap at the connector to install it. The KI209 doesn't have an internal GS receiver and you have to install an external GS receiver when you want to use the a KI209 with a KX170. The GS receivers are fairly cheap but, the labor for wiring will be significantly more. KI 214 should be available an ebay. Quote
Nemesis Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Posted February 7, 2014 Precisely. The internal GS receiver will surely make a rather simple install. There are a couple / few on ebay. I have net seen much movement of any. The prices range from perfectly reasonable to somewhat high for an older instrument. The only thing I worry about on ebay for such an instrument is it's true functionality. None on ebay look clean or what I would consider good shape. It makes more sense to me that if somebody here might have one, then they will know how it was operating when removed. I have no problem with glass that is not perfectly clear and all, but I would sure like to have an idea about what I might be getting so that I can install during upcoming annual next month. Thanks for giving this thread a little attention. Dave Quote
Marauder Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 I have a KI-204 that was wired to a KX-170B. What is the difference between the 214 & 204? It has ILS capability. Quote
Nemesis Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Posted February 8, 2014 It has an internal GS receiver and was designed to pair frequencies using the 170B without any other switching etc. As I understand it, slide it in, hook up coax from a nav antenna, and with few exceptions, it is done. No external GS receiver, no VOR/LOC converter. Plug and Play ILS. Quote
crpollard87us Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Nemesis I have one of these available. Still in aircraft and functional. Looking to upgrade my panel let me know if you're interested Quote
OMH57 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Newbie: If you still have the KI - 214 I would be interested in buying it. omh57 Quote
