PS. I've just remembered. Not long after Vette's save Air New Zealand, and I think QANTAS, installed electrical meters at Flight Engineers' stations. These meters were connected to the Automatic Gain Control test output of a VHF transceiver. The higher the reading the stronger the received signal; accurate, and great for radio locating. I wonder if they were ever used.
