Atlas has two Narco coms, a Narco DME, and two Narco GS/VORs. All work
perfectly, all the time.

I've not quite figured out where the anti-Narco sentiment come from,
but it's almost as insidious as the anti-Microsoft attitudes out there.


They probably are good radios. The bad rap against them came because
they were the first to introduce the concept of "non-field serviceable
units". They took away the right for avionics shops to work on them,
requiring they all be returned to the factory (at a price they set).
However, today we have Garmin doing the same. Compare that to a King
radio where any just-out-of-school avionics guy can do a field strip in
an hour.
