LORAN-C Integration
The MX500 has two selections for Loran-C integra-
tion (Raytheon and Locus). This feature will be avail-
able when the Loran-C license is activated. Please copy
the PCB & part number and call SIMRAD to obtain the
license.
Raytheon
To implement this feature, change LORAN-C connected to
Yes.
Identify the appropriate input port (1 or 2) that the
LORAN-C device connects to by using the Change soft-
key.
Select the appropriate Version Number with the range
from 0 to 9.
The Antenna offset option of the LORAN-C feature is tied
to the Antenna offset from the GPS feature. Note that
any changes you make to the Antenna offset in LORAN-C
will also modify the Antenna offset in the CFG1/GPS
screen. The Antenna offset allows you to virtually off-
set your antenna. That is, if you are forced to place the
antenna in a location other than where you want your
position fix calculated (due to superstructure or other
high power antennas), you can place the antenna in a
practical location. Enter the appropriate Antenna offset,
and the receiver will calculate your position in the place
where you would have preferred to place the antenna.
After the LORAN-C (Raytheon) feature is enabled, you
will have 3 new screens (POS 4, POS 5, POS 6), which
display the following information:
POS 4 - GPS/LORAN-C Combined Position •
POS 5 - LORAN-C Calibrated Position •
POS 6 - LORAN-C Stand Alone Position •
