                                    <td style='vertical-align: top;'>Thanks for your info Mr Mings,<br><br>It's always good to hear from those &quot;in the know&quot; on these things.<br>While I was looking into the Buncher/Splasher system the other day I found another report very similar to yours, regarding a wrong code, however on that instance it was the right beacon, but it was transmitting wrongly. 9L9 instead of 8L8 I think...<br>I'll have to see if I can find it again.<br><br>One thing that did come up was that the beacons could transmit on 4 or 5 different frequencies at once, although, as you say, on a fairly low range.<br><br>Just one last thing before I sign off... which you may be able to clarify. Or WWII RAF aircraft the D/F loop was controlled by the Wireless Operator, but as he was usually close to the Navigator readings were easily passed back and fortrh. <br>Now, on B-17s, the D/F loop seems to have been under the nose cabin, presumably controlled by the Navigator. Is that correct, or was the D/F loop controlled from the &quot;Radio Shack&quot;? After reading your account, it seems to have been used as a Navigator's instrument....<br><br>All the best,<br><br>Paul<br><br><br><br></td>
