This just seemed like good ergonomics to me - no way to make a mistake. Who makes these? Why do we see them so rarely? When I purchased my Cheetah, it had a Narco 122 installed. This is a self-contained VOR-LOC-GS instrument with marker beacon annunciators on it. To my mind, it is one of the best instruments I have--easy to use, clear to read, and dead-on accurate. Narco makes a new model of that instrument, which is digitally rather than mechanically tuned. It, however, does not have the marker beacons present on the instrument, which I think is a shortcoming. Michael The Narco IDME 891 has VOR-LOC-GS and does have repeat indicators from the Marker Receiver in the Audio Panel (CPM 136M). |
