--> Avionics-List message posted by: Hopperdhh@aol.com
Fellow NAV Hobbyists,
At Sun-n-Fun I purchased a digital VOR indicator called a DVOR 100 made about
1975 by HT Instruments, Inc. I have traced out the circuit and repaired the
unit. The circuit has 26 ICs in a compact 3 board layout that fits in a 2 1/4
inch instrument case. The circuit appears to be very well designed with
several innovative features. I have definitely gotten my $10 worth just playing
with this thing.
If anyone has any information or memories of this indicator, please let me
know. I would also be glad to share what I have learned with anyone else who
may be interested.
While flying VFR, I like to tune in VORs and center the needle on FROM to
verify my position with the GPS. With this indicator, you wouldn't have to
bother reaching up to center the needle. In the event of a GPS failure you could
still find a VOR by just holding the course digitally.
Now back to work on the airplane!
