LORAN-C Integration

The MX 500 has two selections for Loran-C integration (Raytheon and Lo-
cus). This feature will be available when the Loran-C license is activated.
Please copy the PCB & part number and call BNT-ME 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 softkey.
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 offset 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
