A VOR/DME is a combination of VOR and DME.

A DVOR (see DVOR) is often also combined with a radio navigation system for distance measurement - the DME (see DME). DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) displays the distance to the DME transponder in nautical miles (NM). For the DME display in the aircraft, there is a second device whose frequency is coupled with the DVOR receiver so that only the DVOR frequency needs to be set. If the set DVOR does not have a DME, the DME device in the aircraft remains without a display.
