Hi all,
So with the demise of the LORAN system, there's a lot of junk out
there. I picked up 2 Northstar Avionics M1-A LORAN antenna couplers for
cheap cheap money.
One is a model #1010. Half the board is an amp and the other is a
filter on the input. All components are leaded. The amp uses a pair of
MPS 6571's.
The second unit is a #2011. It's the same size as the other and half
the board is a filter. The amp uses surface mount components and is a
small board mounted at a right angle to the main board. This
daughterboard has white silicone sealant around it do I can't find what
the active device is.
These things are built pretty well and should be usable even if I have
to bypass the input filter.
Are there any avionics gurus here on the list? Before I try a smoke
test, I was wondering what the input voltage might be. I can't find
anything on the net.
Thanks,
Jon
