Leica Introduces Dual

Channel DGPS Beacon

Receiver

Leica has introduced the MX 52R, a new dual channel DGPS beacon receiver which reportedly provides accuracy levels of 16.4 ft. (5 m) or better when connected to a

Leica DGPS navigator. The MX 52R reportedly provides automatic selection of the best available

DGPS beacon signal by using two independent channels. One chan- nel tracks the best available bea- con signal and sends the demodu- lated DGPS error correction data to the GPS receiver, while the sec- ond channel scans for other DGPS beacon signals and maintains a

DGPS directory.

The MX 52R uses GPS error cor- rections transmitted from marine radio beacons in the 283.5 to 325 kHz band to achieve positioning accuracy of 16.4 ft. or better in realtime. It is compatible with the public broadcast DGPS service operated by the U.S. Coast Guard and other services meeting the

International Association of ,:

Why Exhibit at the Seatrade Cruise Shipping Convention? • Attended by more cruise line buyers than any other event of its kind. No other industry trade show can match its size and scope. • Its south Florida location has the largest concentration of cruise lines anywhere in the world. • Show is strategically timed to coincide with the traditional business planning schedule of the cruise lines, prior to seasonal repositioning of the fleet. • Industry related conference channels cruise line interest to exhibition floor.

The MX 52 R is supplied witl

H-field ferite loop antenna wl reportedly requires no extei grounding, making it ideal for on small vessels, vehicles, aire or portable applications. The 1 antenna significantly reduces effects of atmospheric noise, si as P-static caused by thund storms.

An optional combined GPS/b con antenna uses a single anten cable for both signals, simplifyi installation and maintenam

When connected to any Leica G1 receiver, the MX 52R is controll by the navigator. The sign strength and SNR are continuous displayed by the GPS navigator.
