Fully automatic navigation aid
Just set the selectors for the desired
Loran C chain and turn the mode selector to
AUTO...DL91 does the rest.
The master and two slave stations are locked and matched on the third cycle. The intervals are displayed as digital LOP readouts with one-tenth of a microsecond accuracy. And the lines of position are continuously tracked and updated.
With DL91 you automatically acquire a fast and accurate fix.
Highest accuracy and longest range
Unlike combined Loran A/C units, DL91 is a cycle matching receiver specifically designed to make full use of Loran C transmissions. Accuracy of groundwave fixes varies from 100 feet at short range to 500 yards at ranges of 1000 miles. Repeatable accuracy within 50 feet lets you return to the same position time after time.
Skywave coverage, especially at night, extends out to 2500 miles.
Exclusive extended range coverage
In addition to complete manual back-up controls, DL91 has a unique extended range mode which automatically shifts cycle matching from the third to the seventh cycle.
This extends the groundwave coverage an additional 250 miles.
Complete with antenna and coupler
Other features of DL91 include a six foot whip antenna and specially tuned coupler, two tuneable notch filters, four optional plug-in filters, a built-in system test, on-line monitor, and outputs for data processors and automatic plotters.
Exceptionally light and compact, DL91 mounts almost anywhere—table top, overhead, console, bulkhead, vertically or horizontally. An optional remote dual display unit is available.
