Does anybody have a digital photo in fairly high res of an old Narco
Superhomer that they would be willing to copy to me for an article I'm doing
for both Oshkosh forum and a Kitplanes column? A VC-27Z would do just as
well. If you've got a good photo and can upload it to your web page FTP
server, I'd be happy to do the download.

What I'm really after is to show the little "transmit" light just under the
receiver dial.

For those of you who came into this game too late to "enjoy" this little
rascal, it gave you your choice of four (count 'em again, FOUR) transmit
channels and a slide-rule type tuner that would go all the way from 108-126
MHz. in one continuous band. That little "transmit" light was really
neat -- it actually stole a little power directly from the transmit antenna
port so that you knew for a fact that the transmitter was mitting. It also
flickered in time with your voice so you knew that the microphone was doing
its job also -- so far as I know, this was the last device to have both a
positive RF and audio indication of transmit.

Those were the REAL days of voice-over-VOR, because once you dialed the VOR
in, there was no way to switch back and forth between the COM and NAV bands.
At some point, one of the smarter troops at Narco put in a little switch
called "whistle-stop tuning" that turned the transmitter on at micropower
and let you zero-beat the receiver to the crystal so that you were on the
correct channel.

I went from San Diego to Boston in a C-120 behind one of these boxes and
didn't know any better.
