The best and by far lowest cost solution is to pay TV stations and maybe AM broadcast stations to add a timing pulse a few times per second. No transmitters to build. The receivers would be more complete but that is OK in 2012. In the "old days" it was to expensive to put a complex computer inside a radio but now that is routine. So I can imagine a receivers that can listen to 20 or 30 broadcast stations, look of the latitude and longitude of each one and compute a best fit to the delays. Actually that is how GPS works but only in L1
Traditionally the main problem with using comercail radios for navigation has been then they don't issue a station ID frequenty enough so you have to listen for a long time to know what station you've tuned. But radio with a computer inside would know the station by it's frequency and the approx. location of the receiver. On Sun, Mar 4, 2012 at 1:02 PM, Charles P.
