[Milsurplus] Automatic Direction Finding Eqpt.

[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Richard & Group,

The only manuals I've ever seen have been for a manual DF set (DAE) and the 
portable DAV.  The only hardware I've ever seen (have) is a test transmitter 
for the DAU that was in a batch of stuff out of Hawaii.  On the other hand, 
the roughly equivalent Signal Corps sets aren't common but have shown up.  Or 
bits and pieces of them.
