[BC] FAA RF rulemaking

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

King is overpriced radios.  I have KX155A's in my Cessna 182.  I would take
Garmin's anyday over them.  Garmin has today's aviation radio market just
about sewn up.  All the others now including King are also rans.

I can tell you this about King.  I can fly within 1000 feet horizontally
from a couple local 100K Class C FM's at 1500 or so feet, and my radio's
dont even burp.  The localizer needles dont flinch.

I dont see a problem

The FAA really tightened up the standards for radio's about 10 years or so
ago.  The only problem I can see are maybe unique situations of frequency
combinations and locations that might cause intermod, but personally in all
my flying, I've never run across the problem.  BTW, a King Air is a
Beechcraft airplane....

I know some guys in Melborne that will debate the above comment especially
as oppossed to King Air.   Even though I grant you King Air has gotten  much
better in the past 30 years.
