Manual: Kt 70 Installation

Mount the antenna on the bottom of the fuselage. Keep it at least 3 feet away from ADF loops, DME antennas, and the VHF COM antennas to minimize signal shadowing and interference. 5. Post-Installation Configuration and Checkout

While the KT 70 remains an exceptionally reliable, high-performing Mode S unit, it is crucial to note that classic standalone Mode S units do not natively fulfill modern NextGen without secondary active data links. For aircraft owners seeking full compliance, manufacturers like BendixKing offer modern slide-in transponder upgrades (such as the KT 74) that utilize existing KT 70 trays and wiring harnesses to significantly cut labor down-time and panel modification costs.
