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!
