I could imagine that if it were a shoe-box behind the panel plugging into the PFD. But don't ADF and DME fits still require an independent indicator for certification? We recently had a KR-87 ADF retrofitted: it feeds directly into the Sandel EHSI, which is perfect. But we still have to have an RBI taking up valuable panel space.
