          Road,  Anaheim, California 92808.   Parsow Partnership,  Ltd. and

          entities making  this filing.  This filing  constitutes Amendment
          No. 9  to  the  Schedule  13D  of Parsow  Partnership,  Ltd.  and
          Amendment  No. 5 to the Schedule 13D  of Elkhorn Partners Limited
          Partnership.


          Item 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

               (a)-(c),  (f)     This  Statement  is  being  filed  by  the
          Partnerships.  The sole general  partner of both  Partnerships is
          Alan S. Parsow, 2222 Skyline Drive, Elkhorn, Nebraska 68022.  The
          business of both Partnerships consists of the buying and selling,
          for the  account of the  Partnership, of stocks, bonds  and other
          securities, commodities, property and investments.  Mr. Parsow is
          a United States citizen.

               (d)-(e)   Neither of  the  Partnerships nor  Mr. Parsow  has
          during  the   last  five  years  been  convicted  in  a  criminal
          proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors)
          or  has  been a  party to  a  civil proceeding  of a  judicial or
          administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a  result of
          such proceeding was or is subject to  a judgment, decree or final
          order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
          activities  subject to,  federal  or  state  securities  laws  or
          finding any violation of such law.


          Item 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

               The Partnerships have acquired Comarco common stock  through
          open market purchases.  The purchase price was obtained  from the
          Partnerships'  working capital and from margin account borrowings
          from brokers.


          Item 4.   PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

               The  Partnerships have acquired the Comarco common shares as
          an investment. The Partnerships intend to review on  a continuing
          basis  their investments in  the Comarco common  stock, Comarco's
          business affairs and  financial condition, as well  as conditions
          in  the  securities  markets and  general  economic  and industry
          conditions.  The  Partnerships  may purchase  additional  Comarco
          common  shares either in the open market, in privately-negotiated
          transactions, or  otherwise. Additionally,  the Partnerships  may 
          dispose  of  the  Comarco  common  stock  they  presently own  or
          hereafter  acquire  either  in  the  open  market,  in  privately
          negotiated   transactions,   or  otherwise.   In   addition,  the
          Partnerships  reserve  the  right  to  take such other actions in
          respect of  their respective  investments in  the Comarco  common
          stock as they may deem  appropriate in light of the circumstances
          existing  from  time  to  time,  including,  without  limitation,
          seeking representation  on the board  of directors of  Comarco or
          taking   other  steps   with   management  designed   to  enhance
          shareholder value.
