Very few LORAN-C receivers are multi-chain. I belive the Austron 5000M was multi-chain (and took a PDP/11 ?) Megapulse have some multi-chain receivers as well. I don't think I've seen any other. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
