I had an old ADF that didn't work. I also did not have a DME, but a VFR
GPS. When I started my training I found out, like the other post, that
DMEs and ADF were required for several approaches. I pulled out the ADF
and traided the GPS for a reconditioned King KLN 89/B and associated
hardware. Works for me.

My '66 Cherokee 180C currently has a T12C ADF. Even though it has analog
tuning, the previous owner installed a Davitron digital frequency
read out so it's not as bad to tune as you'd think.

Anyway, it now longer points to the NDB (actually the needle never moves)
but can successfully tune am radio stations. So my choices a 1 Fix it,
2 Replace it, 3 Remove it.

My plane is currently certified for instrument operation (and I plan
on starting my IFR training shortly). I also have a Garmin 196 (primary)
and a Garmin 195 (backup - came with the plane).

Given the fact that ADF is (someday) being phased up (maybe), what is
the collective wisdom of the group? Which of the three choices
should I pursue?
