Default who does VOR "calibration" for most accurate VOR approaches?

www.radiodaze.com/toolover.htm and look at their selection of alignment
tools. You can also go to the General Cement website
http://www.gcwaldom.com/catalog.html to see all the tools that you can get
from GC."Robert M. Gary" wrote in message

Most VOR receivers/heads have a fairly accessable calibration control for
the VOR and another one for the LOC. Most of us who don't choose to

our radio shop's owner to another week in Hawaii know how to find those
controls.


Easier said than done. The screw drivers that do that adjustment are
highly unique and seemingly impossible to find. My shop got theirs back
in the 50's. I spent about a month calling every place I could think of
to get the proper driver to adjust a basic King head and never got
anywhere. I think you need to wait around a shop until the old guy dies
and then grab his.
