When you want to upgrade your radios, one of the common barriers is the cost and hassle of installation. Wouldn't it be great to just slide a replacement right into the existing rack? If you have thought this, and you have a KX-170B or KX-175B installed, you should know about the MAC-1700.

It is not easy to improve a legend like the King KX-170B, but McCoy did just that with the MAC-1700. They wisely left the solid internals alone, which means that almost any shop can work on them.

The MAC-1700 has modern convenience, but preserves the reliability of the original KX-170B. The rest of your avionics will neither know nor care that your KX-170B or KX-175B NAV/COMM has been upgraded.

The MAC-1700 features:

• Digital tuning
• Active / standby frequency display
• Push button frequency flip-flop
• Memory channels (10 each for the NAV and COMM sides)
• 720 COMM channels
• 200 NAV channels
• 7 watts minimum power

These are the most common indicators used in MAC-1700 installations (the same as with a KX-170B installation):

For VOR/LOC installations:

• KI-201C VOR/LOC Indicator
• KI-208 VOR/LOC Indicator
• KI-208A GPS/VOR/LOC Indicator
• KI-203 VOR/LOC Indicator

For VOR/LOC/Glideslope installations:

• KI-214 Glideslope Indicator with internal Glideslope Receiver
• KI-209 VOR/LOC/Glideslope Indicator & KN-75 Glideslope Receiver
• KI-209A GPS/VOR/LOC/Glideslope Indicator & KN-75 Glideslope Receiver
• KI-204 VOR/LOC/Glideslope Indicator & KN-75 Glideslope Receiver
