An AMU is an Aviation Monitary Unit

1 AMU = $1000

If I talk in AMU's the wife doesn't know how much I'm spending... :-)

ok, I guess I'll be that guy, and ask the question... what is an AMU?

As stated earlier we are looking to replace our KX-170B (our 2nd
NAV/COM). As I was doing some research I stumbled across the TKM MX-170
http://www.avionix.com/rev-tkm.html

On the surface this looks like a pretty good deal (1.5 AMU's new). I
talked to a gentleman at Pacific Coast Avionics and he said that the TKM
radios used to have some serious reliability issues they have cleaned up
their act and are now a good radio and would recommend them..

The cool thing about this radio is that it just slides right into our now
vacant slot where the 170B used to reside and you are finished. Plug and
Play baby...

Has anyone had any experience with these radios? Any feedback is much
appreciated. Thanks!!
