hmmm ok, thanks. I did do the search and that's how I came up with the
GRI
of 9940 for this area. It appears to have an automatic set up mode, but
doesn't seem to be doing it.

Perhaps you're right in that there is a problem with the antenna or
something.
On that chart, under the 9940 GRI, it lists secondaries. But the unit
appears to be seeking a 2 digit number for S1 and S2 (secondaries) and I'm
not sure what 2 digit number it's looking for there. Any suggestions?

Thanks again,
Nancy

Nancy,
Type Loran C into a search engine. You will get more info back than
you
could possibly want or need. For instance the link below lists all the
GRIs
worldwide and all of the secondaries. If you are lucky, that unit will
have
an automatic setup mode. Otherwise you will need a manual. You might
want
to
have the antenna and coupler tested.

I recently picked up a handheld loran unit. Voyager SportNav is the
unit
itself. Got it cheap, so figured what the heck, could use it for up
on
the
flying bridge while fishing, and running.

I've never used a Loran, and it came with no paper work or owners
manual,
so
trying to figure it out, and make it work is a challange at best.

I am on the Central Oregon coast area, and have been told that the GRI
is
9940. I have ATSS (automatic transmitter selection?) set to ON...and
S1
11,
S2 27.

As far as I am able to tell, I'm not getting any kind of a signal
though,
as
the lat/lon and TD settings all just blink and nothing seems to 'lock
on'.
I'm used to GPS on the boat, so using Loran is all new to me.
If anyone who may be familiar with these beasties would be willing to
help
a
newbie to Loran, I would be eternally grateful.
Or if anyone with this same unit who might have an owners manual, and
could
answer some questions, that would be great as well.

Thanks much,
Nancy
