Instead of preventing my receivers from drifting, the Austron 2000C will now prevent my fishing boat from drifting. No big difference. I wonder if the design engineers at Austron ever thought of this dual-purpose potential back in the seventies.. :-) > But it's a pity, seeing the unit in operation, quietly locked to the > third rising edge of the Loran pulse, and seeing all the garbage > on the channel, and the propagation changing from hour to hour...

Yes, I will think about it but I will never ever try to do it, life is too short to spend half of it creating a "GPS based local in-shack Loran system"... 73 Johan, SM6LKM
