Kelly,



    I'm sorry to hear that.  What were the circumstances where you had the 

poor performance. I'll be sure to have a good bench test and tune done and 

try it out before I think about installing it.  Thanks for sharing your 

experience.

I was a controller in a tower where several planes were equipped with 

them. Had to turn up volume and listen closely when they were flying.  

However, could have been just a very poor installation, like in a fabric 

plane without proper ground plane, as I know that with good install and 

antenna, 1 watt is plenty. For all I know, they all could have been 

installed by same shop making same mistakes.

I hope you have much better results. Of course that is also a really old 

radio, probably at least 20 years.

Well...., the price was right.  I'll be day VFR with a portable backup, if I 

use it at all.

Thanks for the info.

The KX 145 is at least 30 years old and the install manual is available

only through ATP (Aircraft Technical Publications, phone 415-330-9500).
