Jeep,
You have managed to confuse but enlighten me on the probable radio configuration in the Saufley T-34Bs.  My memory of separate COMM and NAV receivers is wrong.  Just because the receivers tuned down to the VOR and VAR frequencies doesn't mean that a VOR converter, such as the CV-265/ARN-30, was installed. The Saufley radio shop, at that time, had only instruction books for the ARC Type 12 equipment, but not ARN-30.  The most likely configuration in the T-34Bs was R-15 Receiver (108-135 MHz), T-118B Transmitter (116-132 MHz), C-49 VHF Comm Control Unit, and A-15 VHF Antenna.  Interesting idea about tapping audio from an ARN-30 setup.

  The VOR receiver, in the case of most comm/nav equipment like the Type 12 is also the comm receiver and has a standard AM detector.  Slope tuning a broad bandwidth does a reasonable job, as others point out.  What might be intetesting would be tapping "audio" from after the 9960khz FM discriminator in the VOR converter section.  Might work?
