Key Takeaways:

Honeywell debuted the BendixKing KX 200 nav/com radio as a new digital replacement for the widely used KX 155 model.
The KX 200 features modern enhancements like a high-resolution color LCD, an SD card database for frequencies, 50 channel presets, and 8.33 kHz channel spacing.
Designed for compatibility, it works with existing analog indicators and 14/28-volt systems, potentially saving on installation labor and downtime.
Priced around $4,489, a key caveat is its analog outputs, which limit compatibility with newer digital instruments such as the Garmin G5.

At EAA AirVenture last week, Honeywell at long last debuted a replacement for the ubiquitous BendixKing KX 155 nav/com radio, the KX 200.

TKM Avionics—which has recently gone out of business—promised a drop-in replacement for the KX 155, and it looked almost exactly like this. It’s almost as if it bought the design and finished it—though that is pure speculation on the part of those who had seen both units.
