Hi,
I have a Cessna 172M and I'm looking for some advice/opinions on replacing a King MX-175 with something a little newer. I was thinking a used KX-155 might be a good option but I wasn't sure on how interchangeable they were. I was hoping to find something that has the same connection and that will slide in the existing rack. I haven't used VOR navigation for 10 years so I really don't need the nav side of the radio. I suppose it may be best to keep a nav/comm in place for aircraft value purposes but I have no intention of selling the aircraft. The other radio in the stack is a 300 Nav so it goes without saying that I am past due for an upgrade. I'm hoping to find something under $2000 to drop in. Nothing fancy but the flip flop feature would be nice to have. Thanks!
