Actually, the KX-165 has an internal converter that the KX-155 does not.
That's why it actually knows what radial you're on. It'll work with the same head as
a KNS-80 (KI-206 or KNI-520, etc) that doesn't have an internal converter. That's one
thing I've never understood... most indicator heads (203/204/208/209) have an internal
converter (read: more parts) but cost less than the simpler heads (206) that just have
needle movements. The 'NAV' on most nav radios are simply RF demodulators. The
L/R/T/F/OBS is all done within the head.

: There's an after market mod for the older KX155 to add this feature.

Nifty... Question is does it use the same PCB as the 165 and can thus have an
internal converter added?
