Mac 1700 Indicator Quandry
I am not sure how the Mac 1700 (built on the KX175B) is with the number of COM frequencies we are to use now, but I haven't had any issues using it this past 3 months. I believe the Garmin SL 30 can drive the King KI209 indicator (they are compatible).
I would appreciate any advice.

Re: Mac 1700 Indicator Quandry
Also, I am going to look for the King KI 204 indicator instead of the King KI 209 because the 204 is TSO'd and has a rectilinear needle and optically coated glass instead of a plastic lens.The 204 also requires and external glideslope receiver.

Geoffrey also did the update on my GNS480 that I ordered back in June ( I did not have time to have it installed until now). I dropped off the NOS L3 WX-500 stormscope I bought. He is going to test before installing at the annual. The service was excellent. Geoffrey was on the ramp with his equipment before I could get out of the airplane after I landed.
