Anyone interested in a Navigator?? I sought one for years thinking it would make a nice station paired with the Icom R70 I had at the time.? Finally I bought one from "Vintage Radios" of Paris, TX in 2001. He had put a nice front panel on it.? The meter was non-original of course. ??
I put the station together and to my dismay I found that the Navigator chirped so bad it was unusable.? I messed with it in depth and finally? decided I would have to either run it crystal - controlled or come up with an external stable VFO.? Back into its shipping carton it went and has been there ~20 years.? ( I've heard here recently that there is a fix but I never tried it.)?
The time has come for us to relocate to more age-appropriate quarters, and so the Navigator looks for a new home.?
