> I am wondering how rare the 'Eureka' beacon (transponder) is. It is
designated
> AN/PPN-2 and is backpack size. It was used as a pathfinder for parachute
drops
> during WW II, and was interrogated from the airborn component RT-1A/APN-2
&
> BC-929A "Rebecca". The system operated at about 230 MHz and had a range of
50 to
> 100 miles.

> please let me know, off-list if you like?  I'd like to make a little
inventory.
