BendixKing KX 155 NAV/COMM radio 069-1024-42

069-1024-42 is the exact Part Number of this BendixKing KX 155 panel-mounted VHF communication transceiver and navigation receiver. The unit places active and standby communication frequencies on the left display and active and standby navigation frequencies on the right display. The two transfer keys and concentric tuning controls let the crew prepare a frequency before making it active.

The -42 configuration is a 14 V KX 155 equipped with a glideslope receiver and isolation amplifier. It provides 760 communication channels at 25 kHz spacing. These configuration details distinguish it from other KX 155 suffixes that may use a different supply voltage or omit the glideslope section. Replacement approval must therefore be based on the complete 069-1024-42 Part Number rather than the model name alone.

VHF communication operation

The communication section covers the conventional civil VHF voice band. The standby frequency is selected with the COMM tuning control, then moved into the active window with the adjacent transfer key. Pulling the control marked PULL 25K relates to the frequency-selection step used by this 25 kHz version. The transmitter provides 10 W minimum output according to the KX 155/165 installation manual.

Correct operation depends on the aircraft microphone and push-to-talk circuit, audio panel, headset or speaker, antenna, coaxial cable, power wiring and circuit protection. These external items are not part of the radio itself. Installation testing should confirm receiver sensitivity, transmitter power, frequency accuracy, modulation, sidetone, squelch, audio quality and active/standby transfer without assuming that a previously installed rack or connector is automatically suitable.

VOR, localizer and glideslope reception

The navigation receiver supports VOR and localizer operation, while the integrated glideslope receiver supplies vertical approach information to a compatible indicator. The NAV control tunes the standby navigation frequency and the transfer key exchanges it with the active frequency. The PULL IDENT function allows station-identification audio to be monitored through the aircraft audio system.

Documented indicator options for KX 155 installations include VOR/LOC indicators such as KI 203 or KI 208 and VOR/LOC/glideslope indicators such as KI 204 or KI 209. These are associated units, not substitutes for the KX 155. Selection depends on whether the installation must present glideslope, on the required flag and deviation interfaces, and on approved aircraft wiring. The exact indicator and any switching or annunciation must be checked in the installation data.

Identification plate and installation data

The authentic close-up photograph identifies P/N 069-1024-42 and describes the unit as a VHF communication transceiver / navigation receiver. Its plate states 13.75 VDC input, 1.2 A receive current, 8.5 A transmit current and a weight of 5.48 lb / 2.49 kg. It also identifies the glideslope receiver and audio section. These values belong to the photographed exact suffix and are suitable receiving-inspection references.

The KX 155 uses a panel-mounted rack installation. Published outline data for the KX 155/165 family show a front width of approximately 6.32 in, a height of approximately 2.05 in and an installed depth near 10.16 in. Before installation, inspect the serial number, modification marks, front controls, display, cooling provisions, rack, connectors and coaxial interfaces. Final dimensions and cut-out requirements must be taken from the current installation drawing.

Overhauled supply and ordering information

This 069-1024-42 KX 155 is offered in Overhauled condition from partner stock with a six-month warranty. The quotation will identify the allocated serial number, release documentation, test status and included accessories. The rack, connector kit, antennas, navigation indicator and installation hardware are supplied only when specifically listed.

For an inquiry, specify Part Number 069-1024-42, model KX 155, 14 V aircraft supply, required glideslope capability, existing indicator and rack configuration, documentation requirement and quantity. Related NAV/COMM radios and indicators can be reviewed in the Garmin / BendixKing / Honeywell / Collins category. Airworthiness and interchangeability must be confirmed against the aircraft equipment list and approved installation data before installation.
