## Discrepancy

HAVE NOTICED IN MANY OLDER KI208 AND KI209 INDICATORS, THE RED WARNING STRIPES ON THE VOR/LOC TO-OFF-FROM METER AND THE GLIDESLOPE FLAG METER FADE OUT TO WHITE.  ON THE KI208, IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE AN INDICATION OF HALF-'TO' AND HALF-'FROM' AT THE SAME TIME.  ON THE KI209, THE VOR/LOC MAY BE THE SAME AS THE KI208, BUT THE GLIDESLOPE FLAG MAY POSSIBLY BE MISTAKEN FOR A 'TO' OR 'FROM' INDICATION.
