Furuno's New Improved Loran Provides Even Higher Position-Fixing Accuracies And Display Stability

Furuno's well-known LC-90 loran receiver has been significantly improved and is now available as the LC-MARK-II. Soft and receiver changes provide even higher position- fixing accuracies and display stability, especially in fringe reception areas; physical changes include an improved keyboard layout for more convenient and reliable operation.

With the LC-90 MARK-II, a single keystroke will save or recall up to 20 current event positions in both Lat/Lon and TDs, with data automatically entered into memory in numbered sequence. Otherwise, the LC-90 MARK-II retains all the performance and quality features of its predecessor. The large, five-line LCD shows all system data, with the top two lines providing user's choice of Lat/Lon or TD data and the remaining three lines showing a choice of computed navigational information.

Additional lines give a constant readout of alarm and status functions.

Once local latitude and longitude are entered, operation is completely "hands-off." The LC-90 MARK-II automatically selects optimum master and secondaries, compensates for ASF and local magnetic variation and sets the internal notch filters to eliminate interference.

The compact size, flexible mounting, and low power drain make this unit ideal for any operator, from the largest commercial ship to the most compact yacht.
