Hey guys, I messed up the squelch dial on a TKM MX11 Comm radio. It just clicks and won't squelch the radio.
Any suggestions on where to get it repaired?

If it is the type I am thinking they are made in the Phoenix area nad sending it to them with the problem and they will repair it for a set price.

I had 2 TKM radios in my 182 when I bought--their email address then was
TKMRADIOS@aol.com Try it and if you can't get them I will look up the address and the rest of the info.
They are slip in replacement radios for KX-170B's, Narco's and the like.
They were good radios -- the repair service was good if needed.
I replaced them with a complete King stack as the other radios, adf, dme and transponder were old stuff. Didn't have trouble selling one. Still have one that has built in COMM/VOR/ILS/GS.

Finding some interesting stuff about them.
At first came up with this:
Contact Information about TKM Inc
Address: 14811 N 73rd St
Scottsdale, AZ,
85260-3107
Phone: 480-991-5351
Fax: 480-991-3759
Website:
www.tkm.com

Problem is that the website shown is NOT for TKM radios.
Then found this:
http://www.hawkinsassoc.com/contact_us.html
And this is the radio:

Gives you a bit to start with.

Darn, that seems high. I had mine repaired a couple of years ago and I thought it was $125 flat rate repair. If I can find the bill I'll let you know. It was in Scottsdale and I picked it up personally.
Good Luck,
Keith

Chris,
If you can get a new one for $475, then do it. Just looked on Ebay and they are going in the $6-900 range.

If you decide to off the old one I would love to have it for parts. I like working on radios and am always needing bone yard parts.
