Does anyone know where I can find an actual schematic for a King
KX-170B Nav.comm?

I have the complete installation manual. It has a number of pinout
diagrams showing connections to various indicators etc. But nothing
that explains what the various King signals do. A schematic would be
very helpful.

Thanks all,

Icing of the static ports is uncommon but if you are worried about it and 
plan to fly IFR...install an alternate static valve in the cockpit and just 
test fly the indications with both sources,  I don't think you will find 
much difference.  But whatever the difference is you will know it and be 
able to compensate for it.  My solution was a Gretz aero heated pitot and 
static tube all in one.

Does anyone know if I can use a fair DC power supply in the airplane to power my
KMD 150 GPS without damaging the GPS in order to spend some time learning some
of it's features?  The power supply I have is 12v DC with no other adjustments.
I am however willing to purchase another unit if necessary.

Many Thanks
