pirate Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 The upgrade process is always a exciting time, will be nice to see photos as you move along. Quote
kris_adams Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 So fill us in Keith! You say "modest" so what are you thinking. That pile is impressive and 20 pounds is huge! Quote

Keith20EH Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Posted October 29, 2019 Yes, G5s would be nice, but I had to draw the line somewhere, even though it might get wavy. 1 Quote

HRM Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 That panel was a sister to mine. It was painful though, to see the pile of stuff on the floor Quote
67 m20F chump Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 You going to leave those breakers with the red caps installed? I’m doing my panel and thinking it would be nice to be able to pull them. Quote

markgrue Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 If you want to get rid of some of that pile let me know... I am jealous of some of those radios Mark 1 Quote
Rjfanjet Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 I might be interested in the KX155. Mine still is doing fine, just need a spare. Quote

Modest Garmin panel scheduled for late November That is one interesting instrument layout... I've heard of shotgun panels, but that one takes the cake. Hope you are normalizing to a six-pack along the way. Quote

carusoam Posted October 31, 2019 Report Posted October 31, 2019 @corn_flake check out Keith’s panel overlay... ^^^^ Look familiar to what you were thinking about? Best regards, -a- Quote
Keith20EH Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Since several have asked, I sorted my pile. Here is what I have, as is, all working as removed. KX155 nav/com with gs, Functional, screen sometimes dim, sometimes saves prev frequency after shutdown, sometimes not, tray included, but not pretty. Bendix King KR86 ADF with tray and antenna works great KLN 90B GPS with tray, cold blooded, once warm works fine, no nav data base, user defined waypoints via lat/long only Narco AT50A transponder with tray, works and passed last check. $100 each plus shipping, pm me for more details...

Niko182 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Posted October 31, 2019 Id recommend putting in a 450b instead of the gma350. Also if youre selling the kx155 for 100 plus shipping ill take that as long as it works. 1 Quote
