Cessna Radio Replacement

Cessna Radio Replacement

I am considering replacing the Cessna Nav-Com. I was given an older Narco with the VOR/GS Indicator. Will the Narco replacement that plugs into the Cessna tray drive the Narco VOR/GS or is it designed to only drive the Cessna Indicator since it replaces the Cessna radio?

Re: Cessna Radio Replacement

I'm not a radio guy...but I'm pretty darned sure that most nav radios will drive most indicators. all too often the plugs are different, then things start getting a bit pricey having the wires & plugs changed.
I found out the hard way that a decent or "good" price on an indicator isn't necessarily the case if the plugs don't match.
I hope it all works out better than planned for you...

Re: Cessna Radio Replacement

Regarding your replacement radio. It depends on the model of your Cessna radio. The newer RT328's have an ARINC nav composite signal out. If it is the older type it won't work. If I had the model #'s I could say yes or no for sure.

What I have is the 328T, which I believe is the newer model. Do you happen to know if the plugs will work or will they need to be changed? Thanks for your help!

Re: Cessna Radio Replacement

The Narco MK12D/Cessna replacement radio has an ARINC composite out and will drive a converter indicator or an RNav. It will not drive an ID824/825.
It is designed to drive only the ARC IN525 series indicators. The converter portion of the MK12D/Cessna replacement uses the resolver in only the ARC indicators.
Exactly what model of Narco radio and indicator do you have?
