Idents on VOR+DME if one of them is inop

Yeah but thats not hard surely? Each tx is synchd to a clock and the clocks
are set to zulu.

It isn't. It's on a separate frequency, but paired to the associated VOR
frequency. But it's easy to combine both signals through one switch,
thus saving a little money on the unit, and some prefer to hear both. I
prefer having separate monitor switches, but you can combine as many
signals as you like into one switch.

I assume at the VOR-DME ground station, the audio generators for the
VOR and DME must somehow be syncronized with each other, so the two
id's don't get scrambled?
