Sold my Grumman AA1B and the new owner up-graded the Apollo 618 with a slide in GPS and gave me the Loran but now need a Tray with connectors, is there anyone in the group that has one for sale or a lead to where I can find one? My new to me 150H needs to find her way here in the North East thanks for the help

Roger,

Try ebay

A loran, tray and wiring should be nearly free on eBay. The loran has little to no value...except to someone who already has one and likes it, even though they're still a decent form of electronic navigation.

I may have one you are welcome to....I have an old Loran in LuluBelle that I have no interest in keeping and would like to free up the radio stack.

I think I have a tray that you can have for free. Just pay the shipping.

Let me check at the airport tonight or tomorrow, and I'll let you know.

Hi Philip, That would be most generous of you and if you have that tray please ship it to:

Roger Roy
347 Plymouth St
Abington ma 02351

Please let me know the shipping cost and an address to send the check, again thank you very much. RJ

I friend of mine has removed his Northstar M1A LORAN receiver from his Beechcraft. I believe he also has the tray, cable, and antenna (I'll double check).

Before installing an Apollo LORAN receiver, consider that there are no database updates for the Apollo.

However, you can still upgrade the database on the M1A, and there are zillions of spare M1A units for sale on eBay, and there is a company --- CMC Electronics -- that still supports the M1A (for now at least).

Also, the U.S. government has continued its support of the LORAN system. So ... this would be a CHEAP and very useful piece of 1980s technology for anyone interested in installing it.

I have an M1A in my plane, and I bought a spare for $40 on eBay.

Contact me if anyone is GENUINELY interested in installing an M1A in their plane. I might be able to get you one -- receiver, tray, cable, and antenna -- for nothin'.

I just ordered the eight database EPROMs for my old (bit still working and supported) Northstar M1A LORAN receiver. Not cheap, either. $240 shipped.

It's getting more and more difficult to even find Northstar information on the CMC website. I figured I'd get the EPROMs while they are still available. The current point of contact to purchase these EMPROMs at CMC is Johanne Millette.

Who knows who, if anyone, will be in charge after a while. Support has died for the M3 GPS, it's hanging on by a thread for the M1.

Mark, can you tell me what the difference is between an M1A and an M1 in the Northstar units? thanks
