[time-nuts] Loran-C Simulation
Hi Paul, We're certainly very lucky that Anthorn's still up and running, especially as it's only 90 miles from here:-), but I don't know why and wouldn't want to take it for granted. Thanks to the generosity of two other list members, for which I'm extremely grateful, it would seem I've avoided the Arduino route for now and should soon be in a position to replicate your SX project after all. Aside from the previously mentioned Wayback Machine availability of SH-Key software and documentation I've since also discovered the Parallax forums which look to be a great source of information and still seem to be active, so although late to the party there might still be time to have some fun:-) And there's always that Arduino controlled Si5351A synthesiser still lurking in the background:-) Nigel, GM8PZR Nigel Returned from a business trip this week. Glad you are making progress. You are lucky to have an active station to run your equipment. I do agree that the various equipment now surplus is really nice. Though I still see strange things at crazy prices on some web sites. If you do proceed on arduino happy to try to give you pointers.

Thanks to Robert and Edesio I now have all the Parallax tools, which I must admit I thought were also lost. Fortunately there's no immediate panic with Anthorn still running for now so I'll still take a look at a possible Arduino alternative, but will also keep hunting for a live SX-B28:-) Nigel, GM8PZR ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.

Re: [time-nuts] Loran-C Simulation
FWIW there exists an online reference for SX BASIC at http://www.piclist.com/techref/parallax/sxb/sxb/___index.html which may prove helpful in understanding the SX-B code. Unfortunately I can not find the SX-B BASIC compiler online anymore. http://www.parallax.com/sx/sxb.asp is 404.

[time-nuts] Loran-C Simulation
Although eLoran is still being transmitted from Anthorn in the UK, simultaneously as master and secondary after the Lessay master closed down, it seems to have more of an experimental rather than "official" status these days and with no guarantees as to future availability. Without wanting to invite too much further discussion as to the viability of Loran vs GPS I would like to be able to keep my Austron and SRS Loran kit up and running, and referenced to GPS if possible, if, or when, the Anthorn service is withdrawn. Paul Swedberg's 2009 design for a Loran-C simulator looks to be ideal for this but the Ubicom SX B microprocessor seems to have long been unobtanium, so just wondering if Paul, or anyone else perhaps, has ported this to a currently available device or whether there are any other DIY designs available?
