KLN 94

[Mac80]

Have an issue with range button sticking on 5 miles. It is the range normally use but would like option to change oranges.

There are a few threads around here on how to loosen sticky buttons…

and people tossing the KLN94 because it is non-WAAS…

Best regards,

Thank you carusoam

I got a can of air cleaner and some contact cleaner. There were several discussions about other type vehicle switches on web.

Did the air cleaner first then couple short burst on top on range toggle button with electric contact cleaner.

I was concerned the cleaner might harm the viewing clear plastic cover or still stick on some unusual range like 1/2 mile or 10 or more but it worked. I whipped off the cover immediately with a towel.

Now all ranges up or down seem to work well and smoothly.

your KLN94 is telling you it is time to upgrade.

Nah, the fact he fixed it in 5 mins for $5 means the KLN94 is telling him he’s a proper Mooney CB owner

Nothing whatsoever wrong with a KLN94.  Easy, intuitive to use, cheap to update and works great.  I love mine.  Yeah, WAAS would be nice, but if I really need WAAS for my flight I ain't flying.
