There are two versions of the KX155. One will drive a KI204 or 209;
one won't.

Anybody know if it is possible to buy the interface and have it
installed in a non-GS KX155 so that the radio is legal?

Yep. It's an expansion board that mounts in the radio. It's not voltage
specific, as it gets its power from the main board so doesn't care if
it's in a 14V or 28V unit. You see them on eBay occasionally, but they
are not too common.

And they seem to go for upwards of $500. It's probably cheaper to buy
a KX-155 with a GS board in it, and unload the old one on e-bay. Easier, too.
