Hi David,

Might it use a BC-929 indicator like the Rebecca?

 Hi all,
 If there are identical antennas on each side of the aircraft, it
suggests
 some version of the SARAH (Search and Rescue and Homing) equipment.
Equal
 signals from each antenna would mean that the aircraft was pointed
toward
 (or, presumably, away from) the signal source.
 I've seen such installations illustrated, with the antennas mounted
further
 forward, on large aircraft.  I have a SARAH receiver that operates at
235
 MHz, with a scope indicator; it has no military nomenclature, just
"SARAH"
 painted on the case.  One of my Air Force manuals describes the system.

 Have a fine Thanksgiving, all, and remember the troops.
