Hi All,

I wonder if anyone can provide me with some info on the "Violet Picture" search and rescue homing system? (not SARAH, which was an earlier system). I understand it connected to the ARC52 or PTR175 radios, but that is all I seem to be able to find!

Ive tried every combination of google search phrase I can think of, and end up mostly with pictures of cats or purple telephones and TVs!

Any equipment numbers for the actual display equipment, circuit diagrams, photos of the system, anything would be useful if it gives me a foothold to research from!

Cheers
Martin
