I'm working on a 2100F Loran-C receiver that boots up ok and seems to pass
the built in test routines, but after accepting a GRI it just sits in
acquire mode. I know the signal is good.
I've got the manual for the 2100 timing version, my scan of that is on the
KO4BB manuals site if anybody
Paul, Thanks for asking, I am doing fine. Growing up in Europe after the
War I have a hard time throwing any thing away, resulting in too much stuff..
I would send it for the cost of shipping as I have done in the past for
other things.

If a operating reference is connected and checked to be correct toggle the

Hi Antonio,
Ok. I just wanted to be sure that it was still up in Europe. Canada
dropped their chains 3 months earlier than they said they would. And
since Loran-C is no longer usable world wide, I figure Europe will be
dropping their chain soon.

Hello Tony,
Do you have the manual ?
My june, 1983 2100F op and maintenance manual, page 3-13 indicates:
E #1 is a - or acquisition not in progress, cleared by software
E#2 is a E, normal tracking has been halted due to a loss of external
reference
The operator clears this bit manually

After power up, my 2100F Loran-C receiver displays

I have a trouble: after that the TRACKING led goes RED

Hi everybody !
Thanks for your fast answers.
If I can resume it is OK to buy the 2100F, but at a bargain price as it
may be a really tough job to bring it back to life.
Thanks also for the user's manual source, I will order it to start
troubleshooting.
Again thanks and best regards !

You're asking me if I can say more? Most wish they could get
me to shut up;-)
The design for the receiver of the 2100T/F is a mishmash of synchronous and
asynchronous logic. They mixed logic families in an apparent attempt to
battle a few timing problems. On one board, there is 7400, 74LS, 74L,

Interesting. Can you say more?

Hello Claude,
Austron 2100F will only be good for the old LORAN-C, not any enhanced
e-LORAN.
Austron has been long out of business, so I would not expect any field
upgrade options.
I have not heard of others doing mods to the 2100F, to be fully e-LORAN
capable.
Brooke has the manual set on a
Manuals and schematics are available on Brooke's www.prc68.com website.
They can be very hard to fix, because there is some really poorly designed
logic circuitry, and the signature analysis functions really can't find
very many problems.
That said, I use a 2100T for my main timing receiver. The

I'm new to the list and I have been offered an Austron 2100F receiver at

Before jumping in, I have a two questions:

old receiver be instantly obsolete as a frequency comparator ?
* The receiver is pr
