Is your IFR GPS still legal for use?

equally ancient DME which is doing good if it's correct to within 1/4 mile.
Gotta love the FAA.

I always wondered the same thing.

You'd think a 196 on the yoke would outperform the ADF is some situations.

I can't think of a single situation where it wouldn't, under normal
operating conditions.

You can't get the ball score on the 196.

You can with the 396 and 496. G

I can.

The 196 cannot pick up AM broadcast radio stations and play them thru
your audio panel.
