I understand its no eLORAN, but I keep calling it LORAN and thats actually just as wrong. Not sure what to call it. It does at least at this point work with the old rcvrs. It turned off at 2000 UTC Friday it was time for a beer. Regards Paul. On Sat, Feb 2, 2013 at 6:14 PM, Magnus Danielson

Hmmm... . That puts a different face on it. If it a LORAN-like signal, but with an eventual format, incompatible with existing hardware, like the Austron 2100F, any cheering will have been in vain. YMMV, -John == I understand its no eLORAN, but I keep calling it LORAN and

89700 dana and the srs700 has been locked for 10 hours plus. Looking pretty good comparing RB adjusted to gps and 20ns drift will be at least 42 minutes. But just relooked at the drift and it may be much longer. SN in Boston 49db gain 33db margin. HP 3801 is warming up for a direct comparison.

Hello to the group. There is no need for slaves. Quite a while ago there was a slave but it was simply the master faking out a slaves position by delay. That said yes indeed the systems settling in well to the RB ref and I will switch over to the 3801 sometime this afternoon. Fired up the Austron

Yes indeed I can see the local RB and GPS along with the eLORAN all starting to track and the local offsets are steadily decreasing. Great to see. SURE as heck beats the ole WWVB. Will guess long about 5pm local eLORAN will drop for the weekend. It needs a beer. Paul On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 11:09

In Oregon Loran-C signals were much stronger than WWVB. Loran-C could provide an alternative to WWVB that actually works in Oregon. Not to mention a fall back to a navigation system that can be jammed by something as small as a can of pop. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX c...@omen.com

Fired up the SRS FS700 and auto found the GRI 89700 microsecond stations in Dana Il (master) and Seneca NY, (slave) both with equal signal strength of 63 db. Other slaves were not to be found. Noise margin of 32 dB and Rx gain of 72dB. So the Rx is all locked up. Tomorrow I will have more data
