Curious why my two VHF antennas are different.  Is one model better than the other?  BTW, as you can imagine they all use RG-58 cable.  The reason I ask about the difference is that I get somewhat difference performance from my two radios.  I know I need to inspect or replace cabling , antenna connections and the antenna ground planes...

Some of the KX155 radios in our airplanes have capacitors that leak.   Some of the trim pots, volume knobs and solder joints become problematic as well.   They are good radios, but need some TLC after all these years.  They still sell for nearly $2000 with a glide slope.   A thorough test/repair/adjustment with replaced leaky capacitors cost a little less than 1 amu in early 2018.
