Having trouble coming up with a definite answer to this one. I'm hoping the collective experience here may have an accurate answer:
My Cherokee 140 has a KLN94 GPS installed, but as VFR-only. It is not wired to an annunciator, nor a CDI.
The required annunciator is available at a reasonable cost (MD41-524), so that'll resolve that. However, while I have two CDI's (KI-209 - KNI-520), I know that the KI-209 will definitely NOT work (KI-209a would work, but that's not what I have). What is less clear is whether the KNI-520 can be driven by the KLN94. Documentation isn't clear on this.
Is anyone familiar with the KNI-520 enough to know if it is able to driven by the KLN94 GPS? If it is, then I have a reasonable path to get this GPS IFR capable without spending multiple AMU's.
* Yeah, I know. Install a 'modern' GPS. Except that a modern GPS would cost about a third of the value of the aircraft, and couldn't be installed until sometime in 2022 with all the avionics shops being completely booked. I'd love a GPS-175, but the cost......
