USMC:

Thanks---this is ballpark what I thought I remembered. OMs are very low powered---3 watts is about an old-fashioned Christmas-tree bulb, and 25w for LOMs is a refrigerator light!

I think it confirms my suspicion that the Marker Beacon receiver in the T-38 is often out of limits, but since it is a "fly to fail," and no one knows it has failed----it doesn't get fixed.

I'm going to talk to our MX on Tuesday and ask what kind of inspection cycle is done on them.

Thanks again for the leg-work.
