our authorized service centers worldwide. The Silver Crown Series is a breakthrough

in affordable technology offering incredible accuracy, reliability and value.


Navigation ReceiverKN 53

About The KN 53

Power Switch – This knob controlsON/OFF/FOL/IDENT. Rotation of thiscontrol also adjusts NAV signal volume.The NAV voice can be heard when theknob is pushed in. When the knob ispulled out, the IDENT signal plus voicecan be heard.

Frequency Selection – By rotating theconcentric frequency selector knobseither clockwise or counterclockwise, youcan dial your desired operatingfrequency into the “standby” displaywindow. Use the larger knob to changethe MHz portion of the frequency display,and the smaller knob to change kHzvalues.

NAV Frequency Operation – The desiredoperating frequency if first entered intothe standby display. To activate, push thetransfer button to interchange thefrequencies in the “use” and “standby”display and turn the receiver to the newoperating frequency.

The Look Of Control

The KN 53 navigation receiver is styled tomatch our entire line of Silver Crown Plusavionics. The contemporary faceplate isdesigned for easy operation. The addedbacklighting of the bezel nomenclature,knobs and buttons helps you make fastand accurate frequency changes,especially during night flights. The knobsprovide a sturdy feel that offers an evengreater sense of precision.

Fast And Accurate

With this TSO’d system, tuning your radio– including all 200 VOR/LOC channels,from 108.00 to 117.95 MHz along with abuilt-in 40–channel Glideslope receiver isfast and accurate.

The KN 53 is the perfect fit for pilots whowant a panel comprising separateavionics components. Operating on anyDC current from 11 to 33 volts, it can beinterfaced with either the KI 204, KI 209or KI 209A using the VOR LOC converterindicators. Additionally, it will operate anHSI such as our KI 525A with a remoteKN 72 VOR/LOC converter. The KN 53also provides output to automaticchanneling of DME system and acomposite VOR output signal to operatea KI 229 RMI.

Useful Features

KN 53 offers innovative frequencystorage capability. For example, the “flipflop” NAV pre-select feature allows you tostore one frequency in the standbydisplay while operating on another, andthen switch between the two instantlywith the touch of a button.

Having both frequencies displayed at alltimes gives you immediate reference tothe stored channel. In addition, bothfrequencies are stored in a special circuitcomponent that doesn’t require batterypower. The unit remembers your selectedNAVV frequencies, even throughshutdowns of momentary powerinterruptions.

DME SystemsKN 62A & KN 64

Position one: Frequency (FRQ) mode –DME displays distance and the selectedfrequency. You can channel the unitinternally using the two concentricfrequency knobs.

Position two: Groundspeed/Time-to-Station (GS/T) – DME holds the internallyselected frequency while displayingdistance, groundspeed and time-to-station. The “Frequency Hold” feature inthis mode protects you from accidentalre-channeling when the frequency is notdisplayed.

Position three: Remote** (RMT) – DMEchannels when you select your NAVfrequency on the NAV receiver. When theunit locks on to a ground station, itdisplays distance, groundspeed andtime-to-station. While it searches before itlocks, you’ll see only dashes on thedisplay.

Looks Smart

The numbers are easy to read illuminatedagainst a more contemporary faceplateand large sturdy knobs providing a senseof greater precision and control.

The KN 62A and KN 64 DME Systemsdisplay the flight information you need—including simultaneous DME distance,groundspeed and time to-station, as wellas, DME distance and internally selectedfrequency. These robust systems operateon any DC voltage from 11 to 33 withoutadapters or power converters. What’smore their modest power requirementsmean there’s no need for externalcooling.*

Trusted Technology

These self-contained, 200-channelsystems, with their powerful solid statetransmitters, provide you with search andlock-on in about a second. What’s more,both the KN 62A and KN 64 can bechanneled remotely through almost anyNAV receiver, or tuned directly with theirown frequency selection knobs.They even have duel channelingcapability, making two DME frequenciesavailable to you at all times—one remote,with one stored internally. So what youhave, in effect, is a functional DME HOLDmode.

Panel-Mounted TransponderKT 76A

circuit boards provide trouble-freeconnections and ensure that all leads arefully insulated, protecting againstoverheating of components duringmanufacturing.

While other transponder manufacturerssolder their LSI chips in place, the KT76A’s encoder and decoder functions areprogrammed into a plug-in LSI chip,making repair as simple as pulling outone chip and replacing it with a new one.While the IDENT button is readilyaccessible on the front of the faceplate, aremote button can also be installed in aneven more convenient location, such asthe control yoke, to reduce pilot workloadduring busy approaches or departures.

It is this attention to detail that makes theKT 76A one of the most successfultransponders in general aviation history.

Proven Performance And Leadership

The KT 76A has established a worldwidereputation as the standard in ModeA/Mode C identification. Since itsintroduction, more than 165,000 KT 76and KT 76A transponders have beeninstalled worldwide.

The KT 76A is a Class 1A transponderproviding maximum performance ataltitudes up to 35,000 feet. This compactunit was among the first of our avionics toincorporate Large Scale Integrated (LSI)circuitry, reducing both weight and powerrequirements. And today, its designefficiency and rugged construction offera near-ideal balance of performance,reliability and value.

A Closer Look

All Mode A and Mode C transpondersperform the same functions: replying toradar interrogations, providing Air TrafficControl (ATC) with positive identification,and showing your ground speed on thecontroller’s radar monitor. With anencoding altimeter or blind encoder, thetransponder can also transmit altitude.

The KT 76A combines an extra-rigid,durable switchboard with easy access toall components. Unlike othertransponders the 76A can be opened likea book to expose every part and printedcircuit board—significantly reducingmaintenance costs and downtime. Insidethe KT 76A, “solder masked” printed

Panel-Mounted TransponderKT 76C

The Value Of Experience

Combining state-of-the-art technologywith ease of use, the KT 76C is the firstpanel-mounted Mode A/C transponder tooffer such features as sequential push-button squawk/code entry. Pressing asingle button lets you switch to any pre-set VFR code you choose. It operateswith both 14- and 28-volt electricalsystems and its extensive backlightingand bright gas discharge display make iteasy to read in all light levels.

The KT 76C drops directly into the samespace as an existing KT 76A* andreadily fits most stacks to replace othertransponders. Although cooling air isn’trequired, an optional forced-air inlethas been included to further extendservice life.

Matching our other Silver Crown Plusavionics, the KT 76C features acontemporary look. However, more thanjust style, the contemporary design helpsimprove the ergonomics and makes thistransponder easier to operate.

Backlighting of the bezel nomenclatureand knobs is standard, speedingrecognition and making night flying eveneasier. The use of ergonomic, high-reliability pushbuttons ease pilotworkload. A high-visibility gas plasmadisplay presents the selected code andpressure altitude. Automatic,microprocessor controlled displaydimming ensures readability under allcockpit conditions, from bright sunlight tototal darkness.

The Value Of Reliability

In today’s complex airspace environment,a transponder is simply a necessity. BothAir Traffic Control (ATC) and other TCAS-equipped aircraft rely on transponderreplies to determine your position. TheBendix/King KT 76C transponder is aradio transmitter/receiver which operateson radar frequencies. Receiving groundradar interrogations at 1030 MHz, itreturns a coded response of pulses toground based radar–or airborne TCASreceivers–on a frequency of 1090 MHz.

As with other Mode A/Mode Ctransponders, the KT 76C replies withone of 4,096 codes, which differ in theposition and number of pulsestransmitted. By “replying” tointerrogations, your KT 76C enables ATCand TCAS computers to display youraircraft’s identification, altitude andground speed on display screens.When the IDENT button is pressed, youraircraft will be positively identified to AirTraffic Control.

To ensure the visibility of your aircraft,both now and in the foreseeable future,we built the KT 76C to pass the rigorousHighly Accelerated Lifecycle Testing(HALT) program, subjecting it to rapidextremes of temperature, vibration andG-loading. Whatever your flying regimen,the KT 76C has already been there anddemonstrated it will keep working.

Digital ADFKR 87

reckoning on long legs and othernavigation functions, up to 59 hours and59 minutes. And it can be checked anytime during a flight by pressing theFLT/ET button.

The elapsed time function provides youwith a “stopwatch” perfect for timing aholding pattern, a non-precisionapproach or an individual trip leg. It canbe programmed to clock forward from:00, or to count down from any presettime interval up to 59 minutes and 59seconds.

While you’re using the elapsed timer orchecking the flight timer, you can recallyour standby frequency at any time bypressing the “FRQ” button. When thetimers are being used, the standbyfrequency won’t be shown. So, select anew ‘in use’ frequency by direct turning.It’s an extremely useful feature especiallywhen searching for stations with unknownfrequencies.

Directional Intelligence

As an option, you can install a KI 228dual ADF pointer indicator for use withdual KR 87 installations, available in bothmanual and slaved versions. The KR 87will also drive KI 229 or KNI 582 RMI’sdirectly.

The final component of the system is theKA 44B combined loop and senseantenna, containing preamplifier andmodulator circuits which combine theantenna signals into a single input to thereceiver.

The Design You Trust

The KR 87 maintains its reputation foroffering superb dependability. Thiscompact TSO’d unit gives you accuratebearing-to-station in the 200kHz to 1799kHz frequency range, complete with ADF,ANT and BFO tuning modes, plus audiooutput for station identification andmonitoring AM broadcasts.

The KR 87’s advanced “coherentdetection” design rejects unwantedfrequency noise and achieves muchgreater range while remaining lesssusceptible to engine noise, static andatmospheric interference.

Its “flip-flop” frequency display allows youto switch between pre-selected standbyand active frequencies with the press ofa button. And both frequencies arestored in a non-volatile memory circuit,meaning you don’t have to worry aboutbattery power.

Outstanding Presentation

In the cockpit, you want instrumentationthat’s easy to read and responsive toyour touch. The KR 87 is easy to use,especially at night. Its morecontemporary faceplate has backlitcontrols and nomenclature, and its large,sturdy knobs give you even betterfingertip control.

A Two-Way Timer

For either flight time or elapsed time, yousimply can’t beat the KR 87’s internaltimer. As an automatic flight timer, it’s areal aid for fuel management, dead

Comm Transceivers

The Coverage And Features

These units offer an 11 frequency storagecapacity, including ‘USE’ and ‘STBY.’ Allthree units’ memory channels areespecially useful for preprogramming thefrequencies you use most–ATIS, groundcontrol and tower—or the ones you userepetitively. All 11 frequencies are held innonvolatile storage so no batteries orexternal power is needed.

Other features include audio leveling toprovide a more consistent volume level.The stuck microphone indicator shutsdown the transmitter and flashes thedisplay if the mike is keyed for more thantwo minutes. There’s also a ‘ProgramSecure’ mode that lets you lock aspecific frequency into a specific channelnumber, so the program can’t bechanged from the panel.

The contemporary faceplate is more thana smart style. It’s helps improveergonomics, making these units easy tooperate. Backlighting of the bezelnomenclature and knobs are standard,making night use easier. Sturdier knobsgive you greater control with a moreprecise feel.

Better And Brighter

When it comes to aircraft systems, mostpilots have one request: Keep it simple.The KY 196A, KY 196B and KY 197Acommunications transceivers aredesigned to simplify operationaldemands. For component avionics, youcan’t make a better choice than our SilverCrown Plus COMM transceivers.

The 28-volt KY 196A delivers 16 wattsminimum transmit output power,supporting a frequency range from118.00MHz to 136.975MHz. Its 14-voltcounterpart, the 10-watt KY 197A coversthe same range to provide 760 COMMchannels. The 28-volt KY 196B takescoverage a step further, meeting theICAO EUR Region’s 8.33-kHz channelspacing requirements, offering a displayrange of 118.000MHz to 136.990MHzand providing a total of 2,280 channels.

These models combine great coveragewith exceptional usability. For example,the active frequency is clearlydistinguishable from the standbyfrequency, with both displayed inseparate, dedicated windows. Thisallows you to pre-select the standbyfrequency while you continue to use theactive frequency.

Optional remote mounted switches canalso be installed on your aircraft’s yokeor cyclic to facilitate frequencymanagement. These switches enable youto activate the “flip-flop” function or callup any of the unit’s nine pilot-programmable memory channels withoutrepositioning your hands.
