## Discrepancy

PILOT SMELLED UNKNOWN FUMES COMING FROM REAR OF AIRCRAFT. WAS COMING IN TO LAND AT MIAMI VALLEY HOSPITAL AND DIFERTED TO MORAINE AIRPARK (OUR MAINTENANCE HANGAR). UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE #1 NAV RADIO TO HAVE A BURNT ELECTRICAL SMELL COMING FROM IT. CAPPED AND STOWED WIRES AND MEL'D THE SYSTEM.
