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. 71 le CC 2 can repeat L< nan C time difference numbers, convert Loran C position to latitude longitude, and will store up to nine "waypoints'' or des tinations. It continuously computes distance, time ti > destinatk in and bear ing from your present position to any of the nine selected destinations or waypoints. It also 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 (0.6 nautical mile) and off track devia tions can be read out in hundredths of a nautical mile. The computer is so flexible, you can even use it to solve separate time course distance prob

Iems while it continues to update ac tual navigation data internally.

New digital recording sounders meet IMCO requirements.

Simrad now offers two economical navigation recording echosounders that meet IMC'() rec< nnmendations f< >r merchant vessels. In additie>n t<> show ing a well defined bottom on re ((>rding paper, the systems have inde pendent digital depth indicators and depth alarms The Simrad ED 161 has four recording ranges from 0-25 to 550 fathoms. The ED 162 has 0 30. 0 75. and 0-150 foot recording ranges f( >r navigating in shall< >wer waters, plus a 0-1500 foot deep range. The op- tional IR 201 Remote Digital Analog

Indicate >r displays depth in feet, meters and fathoms.

These systems are also designed as replacements for existing older sys turns. Due to Simrad s special engi neering. s< >me vessels can be retro fitted from inside the hull without having to dry d<>ck.

Ship's radar from Simrad.

Ten and twenty KW radar models from

Simrad are building a reputation for extra fine resoluti< >n that you can count on. It is natural to think about long range use. and they do have six ranges fr<>m '/in.m. to 4S n.m.. with an addi ti<)nal 30 to 73 n.m. setting on the 20

KW model. However, they really out perform competition at extremely close distances. At the n.m. range, thee provide the unusual resolution v:ou need to pick out small boats and channel markers in a dense fog. And that's the most critical test for any radai Choice of four or six foot an tenna. Variable range marker (VRM) with digital read< nit. and early warnihg target alarm < >ptions are available. E< >r smaller vessels. Simrad's ONX b (5KW) with choice of 3 or4 f< >ot slotted array antenna, and all electrr>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. 1 i- n 'i n 1 u u i

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
