Nigel I am still here and agree the SXB is long gone. But I shared the code and it was in basic. An arduino with higher speed will do a fantastic job of replacing that very simple code. It is indeed simple. I have no plan to do that conversion but maybe I will some day. The real trick was the timing chain that offloaded the control proc. I do imagine that all of that can be done in one arduino. I just picked up 3 of the stm32 units for $0 pretty much and they run at 75 MHz. The SXB was 8 bit so it was a bit messy with some of the counts and such that were needed. Hope that inspires you or anyone else that wants to take a run at it. It does work and runs my LORAN C stuff just fine. Lucky you to have at least one site running. Regards Paul WB8TSL
