raido nav
#1

As a former (old days) radio instrument instructor pilot I am trying to get the wquiptment and a/c to work correctly but need some info:
1) Which USN a/c have equiptment to use:
a. NDB with double needle
b. what typ of radio/radio bcn can they use
of the nav aids listed; Radio beacon,Meacon,YG,BBC(and other AM bc stations
C. I need a example of music/voice entry to a B/C station like BBC
I have the normal "pie" system used on carriers working fine, but do any carriers have a NDB for "homing?
Do the maps in 4.10 have radio bcns on them?
Flew the B25J but the ADF didn't work I had to slew the bcn, however I did see the "radio Compass" swing. Looks as if it is a "relative" heading thing.
Any help? e address "starron1@bellsouth.net"
Too bad no "radio range" the old "a","n" thing. Flew a lot of that back in the '60!

I got the BBC to play music! I can hear the music in the F4U, but the DF does not seem to work. I can rotate the #2 needle 360 and the sound remanins the same???Therefore I cant tell where the station is! is it the A/C or something I am doing???
PS used the mp3 to wav file converter

I have kind of got it to work..the tunes play for 20seconds then quit, and flick to the next one.

What settings did you use Ron1? 44110?, 8bit?, 128kbps?

Any advice would be welcome please.

Cheers.
