KX3 Aviation Band AM Receive?

[James Meade]

Can the KX3 receive 108-136 MHz AM?  Can it transmit on 118-136?  I would  
like to use it as a secondary aviation comm radio in my experimental  
airplane.
TIA

And I doubt it would be legal to use an amateur transceiver for  
aircraft communications, even if the KX3 just happened to cover the  
air band.
Some ham transceivers will permit listening to the air band, but none  
permit transmitting on those frequencies.  And for good reason.
