3-3-5. Direction Finder Set (AN/ARN-89).
Direction finder set (AN/ARN-89) is an airborne automat-
ic direction finder (ADF) operating within the frequency
range of 100 to 3,000 kHz. The equipment provides visu-
al and aural facilities for ADF homing and position fixing.
It is used as a navigational radio aid to continuously and
visually indicate the magnetic bearing of a radio station
while providing aural reception. The bearing of a radio
station is displayed on the No. 2 bearing pointer on the
HSI. Power to operate the direction-finder set is supplied
by the No. 1 DC bus and the AC instrument bus through
the NAV ADF circuit breakers on the No. 1 PDP.
