KX 155

[Releew]

Any recommendations on getting a KX 155 serviced.  I think its the display but don't know for sure.  Looks like $2,250 is the going rate to change the display.  I'm in the Southeast and looking for the closest most reputable service center.

 

Thanks Rick

I recommend trading it for a KX-170 they have a knob built for a man’s hand, not a ladies.

Bevan avionics is great.

Please report back with results. I am really curious to hear if they can fix display issues.

Mine is missing digits.  I'm going to yank it out of the panel and se if I can get the display off, I bet I can.  If so I'm going to clean jp the contacts, as that's it's main problem.  Before the digits went you could bring them back by tapping on the glass.

Is that a hand or a paw?

I used Bevan Aviation to repair my KX155. They are top notch.

For what it’s worth, I had the gas lens on my KX165 switched out with LED ones for about the same price by MidContinent in CA and had a 3-day turnaround time. They painted the raised surface and it looks brand new!

My KX165 #2 nav/com usually requires several pushes of the swap button to swap frequency from standby. Is this a common problem?  Cost to fix?

[shawnd]

Hmm haven't had that happen to me, but you can get a estimate over the phone with the MidContinent folks. Contact the California folks at Van Nuys.
