MX170C (MX-170C)

We are frequently asked about the difference between the MX-170B and MX-170C. We were curious about this too, so we asked the factory. TKM explained that they made a component change to the MX-170B in the middle of the production run. They considered it a minor change, and had planned to continue calling the radio an “MX-170B”. However, the European Union ruled that this change required them to change the radio’s name. From that time forward, these radios have been called the “MX-170C”. We have not noticed any performance or reliability differences between the MX-170B and MX-170C. However, we can conclusively say that any MX-170C has been produced more recently than an MX-170B. The MX-170C is the TKM radio designed as a slide-in replacement for the King KX-170B and KX-175B NAV/COMMs. There is more to the MX-170C than just painless installation. It features: 200 NAV channels 760 COMM channels FM Immune (ICAO Annex 10) Simultaneous digital display of both active and standby frequencies Push button frequency flip-flop 10 memory channels 8 watts transmit power Automatic squelch
