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. 
Any your expect what on a Classic list?  So happens I use Popcorn for
to watch this list and it's dumb as a stump and fairly virus proof.
Otherwise T-bird is the regular mailer an issue.  I hate Mickyspooge
and even though I use the OS I try to NOT use the associated apps
that are buggy, insecure and leaky.
