TKM MX-12 NAV/COMM

TKM has developed a special niche in the avionics market. They make only direct replacement radios for common older avionics. This means that the owner of a TKM radio can replace the original radio at minimal installation cost, while enjoying convenience features such as frequency flip flop, frequency memory, and a bright easy-to-read display. The MX-12 is the TKM radio designed as a slide-in replacement for the Narco MK-12A NAV/COMM. Since it has a more modern design, it no longer requires the MK-12A's remote power supply. This saves weight, heat, and complexity, while boosting reliability. However, the MX-12 requires a bit more installation effort than other TKM radios. Per the TKM manual: "Since the remote Power Unit of the MK12A is no longer required, the existing cable to the Power Unit must be disconnected and the adapter plug supplied with the MX-12 must be inserted where the Power Unit was removed." We will include this adapter plug (photo below). If you are inserting an MX-12 into a Glideslope installaton, there is an additional cable needed. We will order this from the factory as needed. Additionally, the MX-12 features:

200 NAV channels
760 COMM channels
FM Immune (ICAO Annex 10)
Simultaneous digital display of both active and standby frequencies
Push button frequency flip-flop
100 memory channels
8 watts transmit power
Automatic squelch
