Bendix King KMA28 Audio panel - replacement mic sel. switch
 

Hi all,

I'm hoping that someone can help me out with a technical problem I have with a Bendix/King KMA 28 audio panel.

Unfortunately, the Com Selector switch has been knocked off - leaving the unit in Comm 1 transmit only. The actual unit itself is fine - but not valid for IFR flight. The problem is I cannot seem to find anyone in the UK who has a replacement selector swicth (or a replacement unit which we could swap out).

The only 'help' I've had from local aviation firms is - "you need to buy a new one" or "ship it back to the US - it'll only take 8 weeks to repair"

I find it hard to believe that Bendix don't have any spares of this switch - or replacement units which I can swap out !! I'll happily pay for a swap out - but don't really want to pay ~£1000 for a new uinit when the only thing that is knackered is a switch.

Does anyone have (or know someone who has) a unit they could swap out - or someone who might have the spare part required ?

All / any suggestions welcome !

Hi Random,
Have you tried the lads down at Fairoaks, they should be able to help you out.

You could also try Avionicare down in Southend on 01702 542400, they do servicing on Bendix stuff.

Cheers, Fargoo :ok:

Thanks Fargo - I've had an email from someone in Southend (but that was for a replacement unit) I'll try the numbers you suggsted for Fairoaks !

cheers
