Subject: AeroElectric-List: A piece of history


I've just uploaded the service manual for a Narco
VTR-2A Omnigator MKII (affectionately known as a
'coffee grinder') VHF Comm/VOR/LOC/MB radio to

http://www.aeroelectric.com/Installation_Data/

This is an interesting piece of history. Note how
antennas were arranged. The manual speaks of a
'full up' system with two transceivers for a
grand total of 54 transmit channels!

The underside of these radios were virtual rat's
nests of components, topside was stuffed with
HOT vacuum tubes and really clever tuning
mechanisms.

My first flying lesson was in a Ercoup with
the VTR-1 predecessor to this radio. Folks
used to go poke holes in clouds flying
behind these radios. They were quite amazing
performers for the bux.

Enjoy a little trek through the avionics of
yesteryear . . .


   Bob . . .
