There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of TKM Avionics. Or, if you have, you probably thought the company went out of business long ago. TKM is actually alive and well, under new ownership and with a new vision. And the revitalized company’s first order of business is to “reintroduce” a line of budget-priced IFR certified replacement navcom radios.
TKM Avionics (formerly TKM Michel Avionics) sells the MX170 navcom radio, which replaces old King, Narco and Cessna radios and sells for a retail price of $2,650. The comm-only MX-11, meanwhile, sells for $1,450. That’s not bad if you need to upgrade your old radios. I’ve flown with the radios and they work just fine.
