It's on the signature line: "Redondo Beach, California". That is about
10 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and about
a half mile due east of the Pacific Ocean
Sorry for the mental blocking. Signature lines is amusement only usually.
You are a bit far from the active LORAN-C transmitters... a continent
and an ocean away...
I looked up on the West marine web site and they still cary an antenna
and it's in stock. It's just a plain old 8 foot whip and sells for about $40.
with cable attached.
Fair deal.
I took the unit apart and peked at the PCB. The antenna leads goes into
what looks like a RF amp made of discrete transistors, no DC to power
an active antenna.
I wonder if a 8 foot whip and that amp will handle the distance.
I need a whip-antenna myself for my DGPS...
Cheers,
Magnus
