IO540
I would have said the products were vairiable, the NAV/COMS were reliable, the KNS80 look alike was very reliable, I own two AT150 transponders that that had very few problems. The ADF was as IO540 says.....Crap!
Narco in some areas failed to look forward, I just cant understand why they failed to produce a Mode S slide in replacement for the AT150 transponder.
In other areas they were so far ahead of the game that the GA community failed to understand how advanced the kit was, the STARNAV was the first and I think the only multi-sensor navigation unit that has ever been produced for the GA market, the STARNAV used VOR, DME, GPS to locate the aircraft position (with optional LORAN input) and provide area nav.
The STARNAV was more akin to an airliner FMS but very few in GA could grasp the concept.
