Thanks, googled and found a picture that matches the layout of what I have,
labeling associated with the picture was ambiguous, but I think it's the ARC 400 DME
unit.
(http://www.barronthomas.com/21081t.htm, 3rd unit down in avionics stack,
deep-red displays showing 118 and 108)
They also had a Navcom with flipflop displays. They may not have been
the only user.
I just happen to know about that case as I fly a Cessna and live by
a unusually relaible ARC308C.
Line breaks
every 80 or so chars would help.
....hmmm, figured everything would auto-wrap by
this day ...
80 column limits: now that's vintage/legacy computing.
