Dean,
I bought the MIcroair radio and transponder at SNF 2 years ago. They
demonstrated it there and it seemed to do all that I needed. I have mine
in the panel and listen on it often. The reception seems fine in my work
shop ( granted I have a 10 to 50 mile line of site from my house). I had
wished that it would have had a couple more watts of transmitt power but
it should be enough for a KR. I have not flown with it yet.
