Greetings all,

I always thought that the NDB ( radio compass ) was supposed to have a
greater range than the VOR / OMI.  Is this not true?  The NDB clicks off
right at 85 miles from every station I've tried, at altitudes from 8,000
to 20,000 feet.  VOR varies from station to station from 45 miles to
115+ miles.

Really makes trying to duplicate those record-breaking flight from the
twenties and thirties a drag.  Heck, can't even fly a proper
cross-country.

Any tips?  I have both MS patches installed.  In the meantime, I've been
using the HDADF which is fine, just a pain to program every time.

Andy
