Hello Randy,
Please check and see if the nav antenna is hooked up. The radio will
use a different antenna for the nav receive than is used for the com
transmit. In most cases it will be a V type antenna. The coax lead from the
nav antenna could be shorted or open. Don't give up on it yet. Try it in
your friends plane and see if it works OK in his tray. If it does then this
proves your KX-170b. Now you will need to troubleshoot the wiring in your
plane.
I found this on the internet. I wanted to see if the trays were
interchangeable. It looks like you are good on the tray you have.
1. Are all the KX-170/170B/175/175B series radios totally "slide in
compatible" with each other and their trays? ---- Yes.
2. If so, might this "slide in compatibility" depend on what model
indicators or external GS receivers may also be in the loop? --- Each
indicator wired to the back of the radio must be compatible with the radio
and have a connector that mates to that particular indicator. Commonly used
with the KX17xx series radios are KI 201/B/C, 208, 209, and 214. The KI 209
requires an external GS receiver.

Hi again,
I'm starting the cross country part of my training and I need to get this
straightened out before I can go to any controlled airports. I hope that
someone out there has the answer.
Thanks again,
Randy
