Oh, and he said that they would definately have an upgrade program available
to the 94 owners, "maybe" the 90B owners, but probably not the 89B owners.
Now the question that I just thought of, after reading your response a
second time....

Could they be designing a "standard" 94 replacement (small version), and in
addition was he hinting that the larger box with the Com/Nav card being the
correct height to replace both a 94 and one KX155??

We've got dual KX155's, and for the right price I'd give them the 94 and a
155 for a WASS GPSS capable 3-in 1 430 type product with a larger screen
capable of displaying additional MFD inputs over the moving GPS map.
Especially if it was updated with only one subscription!

Hi again, Jim!

I spoke to a King guy at AOPA's fly-in, and got a similar story. He
said that the WAAS GPS engine had been designed, built, tested etc. but
that the final form of the product hadn't been decided. He said there
were two camps -- those who wanted a stand-alone navigator to replace
the KLN-94, and those who wanted a GPS-NAV-COM to go after the 430/530.
His preference was for the former, but he didn't know how it would go.
He doubted, though, that they'd do both. My own guess would be that
they'd go for the KLN-94 style product, as they have a huge installed
base of KLN-89/90B/94 users with KX-155/165/155A/165A units in their
panels.

Mike.
