BendixKing KY 196B transceiver 064-01084-0201

064-01084-0201 is the exact BendixKing Part Number for this KY 196B VHF communications transceiver. The unit provides two-way voice communication in the civil aviation VHF band and supports both 25 kHz and 8.33 kHz channel spacing. This suffix is a specific CNI 5000 common-bezel version and must not be confused with the externally similar 064-01084-0101 configuration.

The transceiver combines VHF reception and transmission functions in one rack-mounted unit. It receives the selected communication frequency, routes recovered audio to the aircraft audio system and accepts microphone and push-to-talk inputs for transmission. The KY 196B is not an audio panel or antenna system by itself; correct operation depends on approved wiring, antenna and coaxial installation, audio interfaces, control configuration and aircraft power.

Communication coverage and channel spacing

The KY 196B installation manual identifies a frequency range of 118.000 to 136.9916 MHz for Part Number 064-01084-0201. The receiver supports 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz selectivity, allowing operation in installations that require the narrower European channel plan as well as conventional 25 kHz channels. Actual use remains subject to the aircraft radio approval and the communication regulations of the operating region.

The exact manufacturer plate identifies the equipment as a VHF communication transceiver and lists TSO C37c and C38c qualification references. It also records DO-186 Class 3 operation for 25 kHz channels and DO-186A Class 5 operation for 8.33 kHz channels, each with the 200 NM classification shown on the plate. These markings apply to the exact photographed configuration rather than to every KY-series radio.

CNI 5000 common-bezel version

The -0201 suffix has a particularly important installation difference. BendixKing documentation states that this version uses 5 V panel lighting and is supplied without the individual bezel because it is intended for common-bezel applications such as the CNI 5000. The authentic front image therefore shows the radio module and controls in this configuration rather than a conventional standalone KY 196B faceplate.

The installation manual warns that 064-01084-0201 is not directly compatible with other KY 96A, KY 196A or KY 197A installations because of the bezel arrangement and 5 V lighting. A similar rack profile or control layout does not establish interchangeability. Before replacement, the maintenance organization must verify the exact Part Number, common-bezel assembly, lighting supply, connector wiring, audio system and aircraft approval.

Power requirements, mounting and identification

The exact product plate specifies a nominal 27.5 V DC supply, with 0.4 A receive current and 6.5 A transmit current. Published installation data gives an approximate weight of 3.0 lb without the rack and 3.2 lb with the rack, corresponding to about 1.36 kg and 1.45 kg. These figures cover the KY 196B family outline; the exact CNI 5000 mounting arrangement must be checked in its applicable installation documentation.

The photographed unit carries serial number 0001258 and states that it was manufactured by AlliedSignal in Olathe, Kansas, with final marking indicating manufacture in Singapore. The serial number identifies the pictured example. Serial number, modification status, included rack, mating connector and documentation for the unit allocated to a customer order are confirmed before shipment.

Serviceable supply and ordering control

This 064-01084-0201 KY 196B is offered in Serviceable condition from partner stock with a six-month warranty. Its photographs preserve the exact product plate, CNI 5000 module configuration, original controls and manufacturer markings. Because the front configuration is distinctive, no image of the -0101 bezel version has been substituted for the exact -0201 product.
