Just wondering. What does a good LORAN unit cost vs. GPS?

I paid about $400 (IIRC) for a new Sitex EZ7 in the early-mid '80s.
That included the coupler but not the antenna. And that was the least
expensive unit I could find. It still works great though. And I got
more than my money's worth in just the first year I had it.

I have a couple of newer Raytheon

Funny, I was just wondering what I should do with mine. It still looks
brand new but I don't think it would go well mounted over my mantle
piece. I'd hate to throw it in the trash though.

I'd hold onto it if you use it. This is over yet. The government tried
to shut down LORAN before, but backed off due to overwhelming protests from
both the boating and aviation sectors.
