Hi everyone,
I was having some noise and tx/rx problems with my nav/com last
fall. I suspect the problem is with the plane's wiring or antenna.
I'ld like to power up the unit off the plane to see how it works all
by itself. I know I must have an antenna connected and I have the
pinouts for the Com card edge connector. I still have several questions -
1) Can someone give me a Digikey part number for the connector, or a
m'fr part number?
2) Would it be Ok to power up the unit without any connections to
the Nav and Glideslope sections?

There are dozens of 'card edge' connectors that will
fit your radio for the purpose of crafting a bench
test harness. There is but one connector brand and
style that directly replaces the original harness
connector . . . and a number of styles have been
used on various radios over the years.
Without having access to the manufacturer's parts
list, identifying a second source for a suitable
connector is not possible. Can you post a photo
of the original connector? It would also be useful
to see a photo of the back of the radio. Finally,
confirm the wire-to-wire spacing of conductors
on the card edge.
It is possible that the connector you're looking
for comes from AMP or Molex. Browse the data at:
http://aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Connectors/Molex_Waldom/
and
http://aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Connectors/AMP_Tyco/Amp_Card-Edge_Connectors.pdf
to see if you can spot the connector you have in
hand.
Once you've got a suitable catalog number, then we
can probably help you find one or a suitable
substitute.

The connector is an 18 position, double row, with .156" spacing. I'll try to attach a picture below. Looks more like an AMP part than Molex, but for testing purposes I suppose it does not matter. Since I don't want to spend money on special crimpers and insertion/extraction tools, I suppose I would benefit from a type I can solder on to. If you know off hand of a suitable part number, I'll give it a try.
Would it be OK to power up the KX165 without connecting anything to the Nav section?

Correction - the Com section connector (P401) that I need is a 15 position connector. (The 18 position connector is for the Nav section, presumably.)
