Bendix King Radios

[archangel1]

I just got an email from FSD (FlightSim Developers) about a 40%-off sale they're having.  As a newsletter subscriber, I can get an extra 10% discount, bringing the price down to $8 US (about $972 CDN!).  One of the products on sale that interests me is a set of Bendix King radios w/autopilot function that can be arranged to replace just about any default stack and are configured to work more like their real world counterparts.  Any comments on quality or usefulness?

Back in the mists, the two top general aviation radios were Narco and King.  Bendix made the best ADF but hadn't yet purchased King.  King radios were bullet proof and Narco wasn't bad.  I had a Narco transponder that'd been at the bottom of a Wasilla, AK lake (along with a C180 on floats) and recovered to squawk many years of codes - a couple beginning with '7' but that's another story.
