One of the older types of radio navigation is the automatic direction finder (ADF) or non-directional beacon (NDB). The ADF receiver, a "backup" system for the VHF equipment, can be used when line-of-sight transmission becomes unreliable or when there is no VOR equipment on the ground or in the aircraft.

ADF (Automatic Direction Finder) is the radio signals in the low to medium frequency band of 190 Khz. to 1750 Khz. It was widely used today. It has the major advantage over VOR navigation in the reception is not limited to line of sight distance.

The ADF or Automatic Direction Finder is a navigation instrument that is widely used by pilots in typical light aircraft. In general, pilots are introduced to the ADF, its function and its use when they begin their cross country navigation training.

Soon after the first direction finder was finished (I think it was some after 2:00am), there was the idea of an automatic direction measurement unit. It should be controllable by packet radio, and with a second of such a station, a location finder would be possible.
