1. As I posted in the OP, I have an experimental aircraft and therefore do not need a TSO'd radio, per FAR 91.205. This position is well documented in experimental aircraft and avionics circles so I won't repeat it all here, just note it for the benefit of those more familiar with standard certificated airplanes which do have to meet FAR 91.205. I would, of course, be sure the radio complied with FCC rules per CFR Title 47 Part 87, which talks to airplane stations, especially 87.131. --------------------------------- mars frequencies are usually close to ham band edges. aircraft transceiver frequencies are not even close (118-136 MHz). the kx3 would require extensive mods to work on those frequencies. Not worth the effort, imho. It might be feasible to build a transverter, tho. BTW, for certified aircraft it would be legal to use an non-tso'd radio for emergency communications only. If your backup radio is intended for use only when your main radio craps out you may feel OK doing that, but I'd remove the radio during annual inspections.
