For club members only:

$500

I have a rock-solid panel-mount VFR GPS/Comm for sale. The GPS uses an on-screen indicator. The communication radio is 5 watts nominal and works very well. It'll come with a database expired July 2018, antenna, Commander docking station for updating the database with a desk-top computer (you can even have the computer, free, if you want it).

I've had this in my plane since I bought it in 2014, but removed it for an upgrade to a Garmin WAAS system a few weeks ago. When I first bought the airplane, it wouldn't find satellites. I had it serviced by Honeywell (new internal batteries) and it's worked flawlessly ever since.

It has the Bendix King North-America database, with airports and VORs. It is also easy to make, store and fly to user-defined way points on the fly with either GPS coordinates or a radial and distance from a VOR. Also, you can enter the CTAF frequency or WX frequency directly into standby with a touch of the button. I love this system! It saved my bacon once in inadvertent IMC on a flight from Liberal to Hays.

My intention is to give someone in this club a fantastic deal and help out someone who needs a panel-mounted GPS/Comm. Please don't buy it to flip it.

If you want it, PM me.

I couldn't find a downloadable pilot guide for the KLX 135. Here is the one for the KLX 135-a (has a moving map that mine does not have, otherwise, identical).

This is info about the docking station. I bought it new, and it works perfectly! You must have a computer with a bootable floppy A drive. External drives and USB drives will not work.

I went ahead and posted it to eBay auctions.

My trusty KLX 135 on eBay: only two days left on the auction. Someone bid $10, so it will sell. I'm not at all upset if this is all it brings. I only hope it goes to someone who can use it. It's still a good radio.

Don't worry, it will probably get sniped at a much higher price at the last second or two of the auction.

You did well at 665.00.

Shawn, yes, it sold for more than I expected. I looks like it's going to Redbird Electronics in Dallas, at KRBD. They haven't paid yet. I'm pretty happy with the way the auction went, except I don't like the way most bidders wait until the last seconds to bid--it used to not be that way by my memory. Anyway, maybe that radio will be adopted out into someone's airplane someday.

Well, the high bidder reneged. Ralph L. Ryan of Redbird Electronics in Dallas (goes by Yellowrag on eBay) demanded discounted shipping after the bidding was over. I called him to try to work it out and was swore at. I'm now waiting for second chance bidder.

Wow. That's why eBay really sucks these days.
I probably would have shipped for free at that selling price, I'm surprised you got that much.

I know. It's the principle of the thing. The high bidder just was so demanding. He wanted $20 shipping flat, regardless of cost. He was so blatant. My shipping cost was exactly $44.12, not including the drive to get to the shipper. It's not fair to other bidders to outbid them then demand a lower price. I don't even want the money. I'm offering the 2nd chance bidder free shipping.
