Omega is the first low-cost, worldwide navigation system for commercial shipping. With the Mackay Marine

Omega Automatic Receiver Type 200, you will have accurate position 24 hours a day. It automatically tracks all stations being received. Synchronization is automatic, with a manual back-up system. The Type 200 is the only receiver which gives visual identification of transmitter stations for positive synchronization. This is important when the audio signal is not clearly distinguishable.

Additional benefits include plug-in modules for ease of maintenance, a built-in ship test system for rapid ctieck-out, and the reliability of all solid-state design.

The most up-to-date

Automatic Direction

Finder, Type 4005A, permits bearings to be taken in less than 2 seconds, and positional fixes determined in a minute or less, with accuracy comparable to Loran over large distances.

It is an excellent method of primary navigation, or may be used as a check on Loran or other methods. No opera-

Omega Receiver Type 200 tion skills and training are necessary. The navigator clearly sets station frequency on the digital selector, and within 2 seconds a line of position is displayed on the large indicator. Advanced solid-state design permits quick servicing with most components mounted on plug-in circuit boards.

All panel markings are back • lighted and a dimmer control is provided for setting light in- tensity to desired level. The di- rection finder is available with trunnion or rack mounting and can be secured to virtually any vertical or horizontal surface.
