TKM Avionics Reintroduces New-Built Slide-In Navcoms

IFR/TSO's Owner-Installable Units Replace King, Narco, And Cessna ARC Series Radios

TKM Avionics is reintroducing a line of slide-in navcom radios designed as replacements for legacy King, Narco, and Cessna ARC Series radios.

The units are IFR/TSO'd and can be installed in minutes, according to TKM Avionics owner Ken Beckemeyer, the former CEO of AmSafe. Beckemeyer says that the radios fill a niche for owners who want a value-priced, reliable IFR navcom. "TKM builds all-new IFR/TSO'd navcoms that replace legacy radios that are no longer supported. All TKM comm or namcom radios are built to precisely fit legacy racks and connectors, virtually eliminating installation costs for most owners," he said.

TKM's MX170 and Cessna 300/385 series navcoms are priced at $2,650, and the MX-11 is $1,450, according to a company media release. The units replicate the functions of legacy navcoms and drive existing VOR/ILS heads with the same output. "The owner/pilot who operates a $30,000 to $100,000 airplane appreciates functionality and might not be interested in spending 20-30 percent of the aircraft's value on a new navcom," Beckemeyer said. "TKM offers a new-built navcom that meets their needs and permits them to operate in any class of airspace."

The company offers a line of four radios. Beckemeyer says all units are shipped from the factory with a two-year warranty.
