Hi Ed,

Would you give me a description on how this circuit works?  In other words, 
do you compare tones to indicate the position of the meter?  Are we talking 
about a control box that has an analogue meter?  I'm thinking that one could 
build a circuit that increases in pitch as a meter needle moves from far 
left to far right and then build fixed tone circuits to indicate the tone 
for north, south, east, west, etc.
When the tone indicated by the meter position equals, say the south tone, 
then you are pointed south.

Does this make sense?
