Releew Posted August 9, 2022 Report Posted August 9, 2022 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
GMBrown Posted August 9, 2022 Report Posted August 9, 2022 Send it to Bevans in Kansas. 316-946-4870. 3
chriscalandro Posted August 9, 2022 Report Posted August 9, 2022 I’ll sell you this one for 1100. Worked fine when removed.

M20F Posted August 9, 2022 Report Posted August 9, 2022 I recommend trading it for a KX-170 they have a knob built for a man’s hand, not a ladies. 2
Releew Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Posted August 10, 2022 I sent it To Bevans. Spoke with Tom and he took me through their repair process. Sounds like good people to work with! We'll see soon!!! Thanks everyone! Rick 6
Igor_U Posted August 10, 2022 Report Posted August 10, 2022 Bevan avionics is great. Please report back with results. I am really curious to hear if they can fix display issues.

steingar Posted August 10, 2022 Report Posted August 10, 2022 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.

tim417 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Posted August 11, 2022 I used Bevan Aviation to repair my KX155. They are top notch.
shawnd Posted August 13, 2022 Report Posted August 13, 2022 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! https://www.mcico.com/ 1
amillet Posted August 13, 2022 Report Posted August 13, 2022 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 Posted August 13, 2022 Report Posted August 13, 2022 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.
M Terry Posted August 19, 2022 Report Posted August 19, 2022 I also had a good experience with kx155.com. quick turnaround and great repair. made my 50 year old radio like new. 1
