It's not just a couple segments, it's the whole 1st two numbers. We can
still dial a freq in, just have to count.

You can just pop the board/cover off the front? That's where the contacts
are?

Thanks. Sorry if this is common knowledge. 1st time airplane owner.

Heh, on the way back from the avionics shop to get the IFR cert done and

a
new VOR head installed, the LEDs went out on our #1 comm (KX-155). The

first
2 digits ( 121.9, the 12 is gone). Just went out in flight. What is
involved in replacing the LEDs? Is it the whole cover?


If it's a KX-155, they are not LED's. I've heard that sometimes you can

get them back
by cleaning the contacts and reseating the display board. I've got a

couple of segments
out as well.
