HONEYWELL BENDIX KING® KY 196A/KY 197A Series TSO'd Panel-Mounted VHF COMM Transceivers SKU: BK-COMM-KY196A/KY197A

The HONEYWELL BENDIX KING® KY 196A/197A series of TSO'd VHF COMM transceivers have a flatpack design, measure 1.3" x 6.3", weight just 2.8 pounds and have the same capabilities except that the 28-volt KY 196A delivers 16 watts and the 14-volt KY 197A 10 watts minimum transmit output power. Both incorporate solid-state construction and feature 9 pilot-programmable memory channels (11 including those in "USE" and "STBY"), flip-flop frequency transfer between active and standby frequencies, a 118.00MHz to 136.975MHz operating range and a digital frequency synthesizer generating 760 COMM frequencies. Despite their wide range of capabilities, KY 196A/197A radios were designed to be easy to read and logical to operate. An audio leveling feature automatically amplifies weak audio signals and mutes strong signals. Racks & connectors (for new installations) and manuals are sold separately. 

The HONEYWELL BENDIX KING® KY 196A/197A  VHF COMM transceivers are available in different versions  including those with Silver Crown Plus faceplates. They can be furnished in NEW condition or as USED in Serviceable or Overhauled conditions indicated respectively by the letters "SV" and "OH" in the product reference numbers (SKU and  accompanied by the relevant certification (e.g. yellow tag, 8130-3 form). They are also offered as exchanges / trade-ins  for returned customer owned units indicated by the letter "EX" in the SKU.  In the case of an exchange/trade-in option of a customer unit, the  full selling price of the ordered unit is charged and the core credit is refunded or credited towards future orders when our co-operating supplier verifies that the unit is in a reasonable, repairable condition. It is recommended that this option is selected by our customers mainly for upgrades and only in cases when their units are functioning properly at the time removal from the aircraft. In cases when customer units are found by our supplier to be non-repairable, the core deposit shall not be refunded and shipping charges shall apply if customers wish the return of these units to them. Please refer to the Product Description section for technical specifications and information on USED avionics.

The HONEYWELL BENDIX KING® KY 196A/197A series of TSO'd VHF COMM transceivers have a flatpack design, measure 1.3" x 6.3", weight just 2.8 pounds and have the same capabilities except that the KY-197A operates on 14V only and has a lower output power. The 28-volt KY 196A delivers 16 watts and the 14-volt KY 197A 10 watts minimum transmit output power. Both incorporate:

- solid-state construction

- nine-pilot-programmable memory channels (the total frequency storage capacity is eleven, including those in "USE" and "STBY")  allowing in advance programming of  a string of often used frequencies.

- flip-flop frequency switch to transfer between active and standby frequencies. The active frequency is clearly distinguishable from the standby, with both displayed in separate, dedicated windows. This enables you selection of the standby frequency while continuing to monitor the active frequency. After the frequency change is approved, one push of the transfer switch "flip-flops" the two frequencies. Total frequency storage capacity is eleven, including those in "USE" and "STBY". ThisThe memory channels and "USE" and "STBY" frequencies are held in nonvolatile storage. EEROM (Electrically Erasable Read Only Memory) devices are used so that no batteries or external power are required to "remember" stored frequencies through power interruptions or shutdowns. Easy-to-read gas-discharge displays clearly show all selections. 

- a 118.00MHz to 136.975MHz operating range and a digital frequency synthesizer generating 760 COMM frequencies. An audio leveling feature automatically amplifies weak audio signals and mutes strong signals.

The HONEYWELL BENDIX KING® KY 196A/197A  VHF COMM transceivers are available in different versions  including those with Silver Crown Plus faceplates. They can be furnished in NEW condition or as USED in Serviceable or Overhauled conditions (*) indicated respectively by the letters "SV" and "OH" in the product reference numbers (SKU and  accompanied by the relevant certification (e.g. yellow tag, 8130-3 form). They are also offered as exchanges / trade-ins (**) for returned customer owned units indicated by the letter "EX" in the SKU. Racks & connectors (for new installations) and manuals are sold separately. 

(*) As per FAA requirements, Serviceable Condition means that the units have been repaired as needed and tested according to the manufacturer's procedure to meet the manufacturer's performance specifications.  They are legally approved for installation and use (return to service). In this condition, the unit is NOT disassembled unless problems and/or repair needs are detected during testing. In Overhaul Condition,  the units have been tested to determine any problems, disassembled, inspected, cleaned and repaired as necessary, reassembled, tested and aligned as required by the manufacturer manual and finally certified that they meet manufacturer’s specifications.

(**) In the case of an exchange/trade-in option of a customer unit, the  full selling price of the ordered unit is charged and the core credit is refunded or credited towards future orders when our co-operating supplier verifies that the unit is in a reasonable, repairable condition.
