Hmmm ... this would work with command Rx racks too.  All the local
frequencies of interest can be hit with these two receivers and the R-15,
and only one is out of range of the R-34 - HJR tower.  

HJR tower is not out of range of the RT-11s (Type 210s) of which I have
three, two for the FES-1240 (for which I still need interconnect info as
well as what I can find on the C-77 control head) and one questionable
spare.  The R-34s and RT-11s would have to remain 24v but the rest don't.
Find a source of 24v so I can use the FES-1240 and I'm in business - and get
an ADF in the process.  :-D

I'm not entirely sure what I'd do with the glide slope and marker beacon
receivers, though.  And the 2 VOR/ILS indicators and the ADF indicator might
raise an eyebrow or two, especially in a vehicle clearly not intended to
fly.  Oh, well.  

Anyway, thanks for the idea.  I can't remember what I have in storage but
I'm sure I can whip something cool and wonderful together.

Best regards,
