Aaron,
The certification test requires that the GPS stay active when the microphone is keyed on the following frequencies: 121.150 121.175 121.200 131.250 131.275 131.300 I don't know anything about an M3, but all the Garmin models have a page that shows the satellite acquisition strength. After you acquire the satellites, go to that page and select the above frequencies on the KX-155. Now key the mike and transmit for about 10 seconds. The GPS is not allowed to lose it's acquisition. If yours continues to function normally, congratulations! I've never seen a KX-155 that will do that, with or without notch filters. In fact, King had a white paper on the mods necessary to clean up the KX-155. The process went far beyond adding "notch filters." Noise comes out the front, back, top and bottom of the unit. I doubt anyone ever modified their straight 155 with regard to King's recommendations. Thus, the KX-155A was designed, and co-exists with GPS right out of the box. Plus these units have many new features and design improvements. Try the test on your ramp. Let me know!

It passed the interference tests as required by the FAA. I will check and see if any notch filters were installed, but I do not believe there are any. -- Aaron Coolidge |
