NDB gives improper readout

[davido53 2]

Took off from Penticton, CYYF and dialed 374 on the NDB...enroute to that navaid the mileage readout was climbing instead of decreasing...any fix for this?tks

NDBs do not provide DME (distance measuring equipment) information. The mileage was coming from a VOR station behind you. That VOR was tuned in on one of you NAV radios.R-

>> NDBs do not provide DME (distance measuring equipment) information.DME can be colocated with an NDB. For example, in Spain, San Sabastian (HIG) is an NDB-DME (http://www.worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?nav=SAN+SEBASTIAN&nav_id=HIG&nav_type=7).Although rare, they do exist. However, when discussing Flight Sim, it's fair to say NDBs do not provide DME.

>Yeah NDB is a crude navigation source no DME >RobWRONG...as stated above NDBs can have DME associated with them, however they are very very rare in the USA.
