KX-155 Glideslope

Post by Mike Smith »

I have a KX-155 radio and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a glideslope reciever in it. I've been told that some do, and some don't. I would like to add a glideslope to my airplane and was wondering if anyone else was in this situation. Some have told me to send the radio to a shop and have them add it to the radio, this seems like it might be the most cost effective. My display head will display both course & glideslope so I don't have to buy another one of those. Any help, ideas or considerations for this project?

Thanks,
Mike Smith

Mike, if you go to this website they have the part numbers for the KX-155. You should be able to see what your unit does or doesn't have if you know your part number. http://www.seaerospace.com/king/kx155.htm

I think you could probably just swap your unit out easily enough. Besides adding the few extra wires it takes to run the G/S information on the indicator you shoud be good to go.
Thank you,
