Narco DME. Finally, after 50 years, gave up. Display works, but none of the stuff I need. No Distance to wherever, no speed either. The shop that fixed it 10-12 years ago closed when the two owners/electronics experts retired. Is there anyone left who can fix this thing? I repeat - do NOT go...

In keeping with the age-old debate of Ginger or MaryAnn let's make this the aviation equivalent. Ariel or Amelia Rose? Let's try to keep it aviation-specific as much as possible? Avoid the tedious and overused "well, I wouldn't kick her out of bed" context.

Down in the left corner, when GPS is active, I see a small box with HA=nnn', VA=mmm' . Whazzat?

has something even worse than the Paperclip! It's the stupid "ring" each time the mouse selects something. The motherboard in the WinXP system died, I was forced to go to Win7 (gun to my head!). How do I turn that thing off? What's it called, anyway - Son of Clippy?
