The kr87 was what we had through the years. A while ago David(?) created an
adf instrument (-> Instrumentation/adf.cxx) that implemented the ndb search
and needle positioning. This was then used by all(?) models. The kr87, however
did the same again *and* additionally the morse sound. Unfortunately, this
intermediate state broke the adf morse sound completely. Not only could it no
longer be turned off (from the panels; it could via property), it also beeped
the SFO code, always, independent of the tuned-in station.

The fix was to finish David's adf instrument (add morse capabilities) and
to comment out the kr87. It wasn't used in any of the models. You can remove
the comments again, but then both the kr87 *and* the adf instrument will beep,
each its own code. This may now be fixable with the just committed xml based
instrumentation config code.
