Scott I do not believe any antenna will allow you to even hear the signal. Much less allow it to become useful. I have a srs700 on the eastcoast and on rare evenings I can barely get the European signals. On occasion get lock I have a good preamplified antenna some what away from noise sources. (Relatively speaking). I have numbers of other LORAN C rcvrs and as an example the austrons seem a bit better at recovering the signals.
So funny story at the last two ham flea markets in new england a dealer is carrying around a FS700 approached him at these flea markets. Well the thing was gold. Wanted $300-400 for the unit. It did not matter that it was useless in the US. I would put these at a value of $20 today. Unless you happen to have a LORAN C simulator. But then its only good for comparing 2 references against each other. Or more importantly a fine case for a GPS reference. :-) Regards Paul WB8TSL Boston On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 11:07 AM, Azelio Boriani <[email protected]>wrote: > Yes, I have seen that some old Loran receivers (like the Apollo 612B) have > fixed preprogrammed chain delays (GRIs) and others (like Raynav 520) can be > set with a variable delay. > > On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 12:47 PM, Magnus Danielson < > [email protected]> wrote: > > > On 11/06/2011 12:25 AM, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > > > >> In message<[email protected]>, > >> Scott H > >> arris writes: > >> > >> I picked up a SRS FS700 LORAN-C frequency standard cheap and is > >>> seem to be functional, but I don't have the active antenna. > >>> > >> > >> I live about 20 miles west of Boulder, CO. > >>> > >> > >> I seriously doubt you will get any kind of signal that the FS700 or > >> any other LORAN-C receiver can use.
