loran C [′lȯr‚an ′sē] (navigation) A low-frequency radio navigation system by which hyperbolic lines of position are determined by measuring the difference in the times of reception of synchronized pulse signals from two fixed transmitters; as compared to loran A, time difference measurements are increased in accuracy through utilizing phase comparison techniques in addition to relatively coarse matches of pulse envelopes of received signals within the loran C receiver.

To obtain the most value from your DSC radio for emergency signaling it must be connected to your boat's GPS or Loran C receiver. Although by no stretch of the imagination a nautical chart, these maps were free and even in the absence of Loran C or GPS many voyages were safely completed. You may have noticed that your Loran C has been working better than it ever did in the past. |
