How do you mark the spot at sea?

Accurate position measurement is our business. Our modern

Raydist DR-S system can "mark the spot" within a few feet for your off-shore work hundreds of miles seaward.

To get continuous, repeatable data we use shore stations— just two of them. We made our shore station electronic packages 100 percent solid state for highest reliability, light weight (only 27 pounds) and low power O'ust 2 amps at 24 volts DC). It takes about two hours to put a station into operation, making Raydist by far the most portable radio- location system available for use beyond line-of-sight.

Do you have unusual or demanding requirements? Raydist has enough built-in flexibility to handle just about anything you can come up witli, such as four-party range-range opera- tion, unlimited-user passive operation, and enough output flexibility to handle our wide selection of control and display accessories, or to interface directly with your computer or digital tape recorder. We can even provide our unique HALOP alternate coordinate geometry by means of an inexpensive attachment.
