Does anybody have a digital photo in fairly high res of an old Narco
Superhomer that they would be willing to copy to me for an article I'm doing for both Oshkosh forum and a Kitplanes column? A VC-27Z would do just as well. If you've got a good photo and can upload it to your web page FTP server, I'd be happy to do the download. What I'm really after is to show the little "transmit" light just under the receiver dial. For those of you who came into this game too late to "enjoy" this little rascal, it gave you your choice of four (count 'em again, FOUR) transmit channels and a slide-rule type tuner that would go all the way from 108-126 MHz. in one continuous band. That little "transmit" light was really neat -- it actually stole a little power directly from the transmit antenna port so that you knew for a fact that the transmitter was mitting. It also flickered in time with your voice so you knew that the microphone was doing its job also -- so far as I know, this was the last device to have both a positive RF and audio indication of transmit. Those were the REAL days of voice-over-VOR, because once you dialed the VOR in, there was no way to switch back and forth between the COM and NAV bands. At some point, one of the smarter troops at Narco put in a little switch called "whistle-stop tuning" that turned the transmitter on at micropower and let you zero-beat the receiver to the crystal so that you were on the correct channel. I went from San Diego to Boston in a C-120 behind one of these boxes and didn't know any better. Jim |
