I was thinking about getting a compass so that I could better find my
possition at home. So I did a search on Ebay on Compass. I then came
accoss something that is called a Radio Compass.
EBAY Item number: 6565758752

My guess it that the gauge is telling the pilot his dirrection in the
sky. But why is it called a radio compass?

Is the device putting out a signal? And is the signal bouncing back?
