Are there any members still using a LORAN? I last used a King LORAN having a moving map in my Cherokee back in the early 90s. It was a great backup to my handheld GPS, and I wonder if LORAN will be around for a few more years?
Mine was a King LORAN with a moving map (radical technology back then, but this was a $10,000 LORAN with all the whistles and bells.) I didn't pay nearly that much for it because I did some horse-trading and got it for a song. I've found a King LORAN on Ebay for $100... Hmmm, it looks tempting.
There have been a few times (not many) when my GPS has pooped out in flight and I think the LORAN would be a good backup, but the question remains, HOW LONG WILL LORAN BE AROUND?
