The VAL is attractive, I almost bought one used. Antenna, power, light, audio out, seems simple. Self contained. And I like the led v. needles. Just seems like the fewer moving parts of the leds would be more reliable..... I like the idea of the Narco NAV122 but so much complaints about Narco have me worried.
VAL (I believe) told me it wouldn't work with Garmin. A couple of posters (don't remember where) had issues with VAL equipment. As important to me at the time, the early model does NOT include the vor, so as I understand it is the "close in" glideslope/converter mode only. Probably not a big deal if you already have other vor, other than panel space. The later VAL unit does include the full vor. Not sure of STC or TSO status. My local FSDO told me that as long as the avionics are TSO, they consider it a minor alteration.
The real benefit of the King mode would be to be able to use the 206 indicator with a Garmin later, so the equipment loss would be on the sale of the KNS80.
I received a pm from a lister who says his TKM cdi/gs indicator worked fine with his Garmin and King KN53 (same as kx155?) and which includes an internal switcher. I might sell my 206 for that.
Let us know about the VAL, and if anyone has more info on the TKM please let me know. Thanks Skip
