KING KX-155

The KING KX-155 is an industry standard. A bright gas discharge, flip flop display shows 720 Comm (modifiable to 760 channel for export) and 200 Nav channels. It's available with or without glideslope in 14vt. and 28vt. versions. This is a very well engineered workhorse with an excellent reliability record and is one of the top radio models ever built.

FEATURES
  • Solid state, gas discharge digital display NAV/COMM Transceiver
  • 720 or 760 frequency COMM available (see table below)
  • 200-channel NAV receiver
  • 40-channel glideslope receiver (version dependent - see table below)
  • 10 watts power output
  • 14 or 28 volt versions available (see table below)
  • Push button frequency flip-flop with display of active and standby NAV and COMM frequencies
  • Built-in audio amplifier (version depedent - see table below)
  • Models available with 25 or 50 kHz COMM receiver selectivity (see table below)
  • Used with KI-203/208 VOR/LOC or KI-204/209 VOR/LOC/GS indicators
  • TSO'd
