BendixKing KTR 908 transceiver 064-1023-00

064-1023-00 is the exact BendixKing Part Number for this KTR 908 remote VHF communications transceiver. It is designed to provide two-way aircraft voice communication when connected to a compatible frequency selector, audio system, VHF antenna and approved aircraft wiring. The -00 suffix identifies a specific configuration and is an essential part of the ordering identity.

The KTR 908 is a remotely installed radio rather than a complete panel-mounted communication set. Crew frequency and mode selections are entered through a compatible controller, normally a KFS 598 or KFS 598A. The control information is sent to the transceiver through the documented BendixKing serial data interface. A mechanically operated Gables control unit may also be used where the approved installation data expressly provides for it.

Standard-range 25 kHz configuration

Manufacturer installation data identifies the 064-1023-00 version as a 25 kHz-selectivity unit operating from 118.000 to 136.975 MHz. It uses the standard-frequency-range configuration and a nominal 20 W transmitter. This distinguishes it from 064-1023-02, which retains 25 kHz selectivity and 20 W output but extends the upper frequency limit to 151.975 MHz.

The -00 configuration is not listed with the optional SELCAL/DF output. This matters when selecting a replacement for an existing aircraft installation. A KTR 908 with a different suffix may look nearly identical while using different receiver selectivity, frequency coverage, transmitter power or SELCAL/DF features. The suffix must therefore be checked against the aircraft wiring diagram and approved equipment list.

Communication signal path and operating features

In a typical installation, the pilot selects an active and standby frequency at the KFS 598 or KFS 598A controller. The controller sends the selected frequency and operating information to the KTR 908. Receive audio is then routed from the transceiver to the aircraft audio system, while microphone and push-to-talk inputs command the transmitter. The radio output is carried through the approved coaxial cable to the VHF communication antenna.

Published BendixKing information describes automatic squelch and audio leveling as KTR 908 system features. The transceiver uses solid-state construction and is approved for rigid remote mounting in the orientation defined by the installation manual. These functions do not remove the need to verify antenna condition, coaxial losses, controller compatibility, cooling, circuit protection and audio-interface wiring during installation or troubleshooting.

Electrical, environmental and installation data

The KTR 908 installation manual specifies a nominal 27.5 V DC supply. Maximum receive current is 0.4 A, while the manual allows up to 9.0 A during transmission for the family. The documented environmental operating range extends from -55 °C to +70 °C, with an altitude qualification of 55,000 ft. Exact circuit-breaker sizing and wire gauge must be taken from the approved installation data rather than inferred from these headline figures.

The 20 W transmitter configuration provides 20 to 26 W from 118.000 to 136.975 MHz according to published specifications. The stated duty cycle is one minute transmitting followed by four minutes receiving. The authentic photographed unit carries the exact 064-1023-00 marking and serial reference KTR908-C13373. Serial number, modification status and accompanying release records for the unit allocated to an order are reconfirmed before shipment.

Overhauled supply and ordering control

This 064-1023-00 KTR 908 is offered in Overhauled condition from partner stock with a six-month warranty. The principal and gallery images show the authentic radio housing, front model marking, connector area and exact Part Number label. The photographs were square-cropped and enlarged without substituting the visually similar extended-range -02 version.
