In searching the archives of the International Loran Association
<http://www.loran.org>, I note that Austron offered two versions of
the 5000. There was the station monitor version that was used as
part of the system to apply time corrections as well as a marine
system, both controlled by a PDP-8.

Well
A couple of things. They are not the gov. They go home on the weekends.
So do take a listen to 100KC during the week.
I looked at the austron 5000 it was a loran station monitor. What a beasty
it actually is.
Though the nixies are nice. I guess my loran simulator would drive it.
But can't imagine what it must actually weight.
My older austron 2000 is heavy and a bear to operate.
Regards
Paul.
