I do not either mike, but with today's fancy rigs and packet cluster software why not use it.  I agree however manual override is essential.  I simply recall they had made a unit that with some engineering cold be useable.  Kevin and I did use some units that had been modified by a local ham who made a oscillator connected to pointers that we could pre-position but this was only rleetave and did not give us exact seem headings.  Ah well too much data spoils the bean soup.



Thank You!
