Default LORAN here to stay? Maybe.

In deed you can. You can also find them at ham swap meets next to the old
boat anchor radios and at marine swap meets next to the 8 track stereos.

The point was not that they are unobtainable...but that the product has been
entirely abandoned by the leading retailers.

You can also find differential receivers...which will continue to be
marketed for the big boaters. But you will not find them for long on the
retailer shelves.

The thought that LORAN has some role as a backup to GPS in a military
jamming situation is pretty close to ludicrous. You really think the
electronic warfare guys are not going toimpact long wave? You think LORAN
is resistive of jamming?

Silliness...all silliness.

Go to West Marine. Search on Loran. How may sets do you find Steve?


Go to froogle.google.com. Search on Loran. You can still buy
new Furuno Loran-C receivers (but not from West Marine). And
there are plenty of perfectly good units available on Ebay.
