Guys have been watching TCM too much "Texas Clarke in Plane Nine,
I can't land unless you give me the dope"! Newark was a grass strip.
Remember the movie?

Hello All,

Hoping some experts/old timers here might help me on a basic Radio
Range question.

I understand the principle of merging the A's and the N's to get the
on-beam signal.

I have been told that, while originally this merge created a
continuous, uninterrupted tone except for the station identification
every 30 seconds, that it later evolved to a "Pulsed on-beam tone"
i.e., a series of dashes when flying "on the beam."

Is that information correct? I'm looking for personal flight
experience here, if possible.

Thanks for any help.
