[Milsurplus] [MRCA] DAV box

[Ray Fantini]

I have a DAV-2 that I have been using for a couple three years now with a battery pack that I built up. Am aware of the DF circuits but have no good idea on how to use them other then the obvious. Mr. Smith (K4CHE) has recently joined the DAV club with his purchase of a DAV with all the accessories including the six volt inverter pack. He has been reverse engineering the DF assembly that appears different then the published circuit and making some progress. Would assume he will be doing a presentation on it next year at MRCA, real shame to see good Air Force guy going to this Navy stuff.

I definitely agree with that!  Even though I had seen the broken edge of 
it, I wasn't fully convinced that the entire case was molded plywood until I 
acquired a copy of the manual some years later.

Incidentally, I have what might possibly be the schematic of the DAV-1.  
And maybe the manual, but I don't have a DAV-1 with which to compare them.  
The copy of the manual I got also had a four page Errata that made some 
changes to the loop circuit.  And it occurred to me that the manual originally 
shipped might have been just a copy of the DAV-1 manual with "1" changed to "2" 
where appropriate.  That sort of thing wasn't uncommon.
