Simrad. A trusted name at sea.
The Navigation Computer that started it all... from Simrad, naturally.
Simrad's CC 2 Navigation Computer gives complete position, steering and piloting information in an easy-to-use system. It is still the only separately packaged Loran C navigation com puter. and can accept input data from any Simrad Loran C receiver.
The CC 2 can repeat Loran C time difference numbers, convert Loran C position t< i latitude longitude, and will store up to nine "waypoints or des filiations. It continuously computes distance, time to destination and bear ing from your present position to any of the nine selected destinations or waypoints. Italso computes speed over the ground, course made good and off-course "cross track error" for steering adjustments. Lat/Long posi- tion is read out to tenths of seconds (ten feet) and off-track deviations can be read out in hundredths of a nauti- cal mile. The computer is so flexible, you can even use it to solve separate time/course/distance problems while it continues to update actual naviga tion data internally.
New digital recording sounders meet IMCO requirements.
Simrad now offers two economical navigation recording echosounders that meet IMCO recommendations for merchant vessels. In ,idditi< >n to she>w- ing a well defined bottom on re cording paper, the systems have inde pendent digital depth indicators and depth alarms. The Simrad F.DT61 has four recording ranges from 0 25 to 550 fathoms. The ED 162 has 0-30. 0 75. and 0-150 foot recording ranges for navigating in shallowerwaters. plus a 0-1500 foot deep range. The op- tional IK 201 Remote Digital Analog
Indicator displays depth in feet, meters and fathoms.
These systems are also designed as replacements (or existing older sys tems. Due to Simrad's special engi neering. some vessels can be retro fitted from inside the hull without having to dry dock.
Ship's radar from Simrad.
Ten ,ni(l twenty KW radar models from
Simrad are building a reputation for
extra fine rest )luti< in that you can count
on. It is natural to think about long
range use. and thev do have six ranges
from '/t ii.iii. t< i -IS n.m.. with an addi
tional 50 to 7
KW model. However, thev really out perform competition at extremelv dose distances. At the ]A n.m. range, thev provide the unusual resolution vou need to pick out small boats and i hannel markers in a dense fog. And that s the most critic.il test for any rad.ii Ch< >k e of four or six f<»>t an tenna. Variable range marker (VRM) with digital read< >ut. and early warning target alarm <>pti<>ns are available, h >r smaller vessels. Simrad s ONX-6 (5KW) with choice - >f 3 or 4 foot slotted array antenna, and all electn>nic scope sweep. is recommended.
Loran C means Simrad.
Throughout the world, skippers have learned to trust
Simrad's Loran C reliability and accuracy... and to rely on
Simrad's sales.installation and service network in more than 450 ports throughout the world.
Our "New Generation" LC-123 now has many more advanced features, including signal integration that sets a new standard in readout accuracy. With its "touch pad" keyboard, our new LC 112 provides high performance at an economical price. Both models have been designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all Minimum Per- formance Standards (MPS) of the Radio Technical Com- mission for Marine Services (RTCM), adopted 12/20/77, including Addendum #1 dated 7/19/79, as endorsed by the U.S. Coast Guard for use aboard vessels over 1600 gross tons when calling at ports in the Continental U.S.
This is a legal requirement for ship operation in U.S. waters.

Simrad's Loran was recently tested against eleven other receivers by an independent testing laboratory under con- tract to the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
Since the LC-112 had not been introduced yet, it couldn't be included in the test. However, in long range tracking tests, three units were judged superior.. .Simrad's LC-123,
Simrad's older LC-204 and another manufacturer's re- ceiver that costs over $2,000 more than an LC-123.
Several competitors complimented Simrad by copying our LC 123, but evidently they still couldn't match Simrad's performance and reliability. Our ten years of experience in developing Loran C technology is important to you.
A cheap loran could be costly.
