[time-nuts] Austron Model Differences

[Rob Kimberley]

I would concur with John on this. I have set up 2000C units in the past and
can be a bit fiddly, but as he says a great way to learn about LORAN.

The three 2100s are pretty much the same, but:

2100F (for "f"ront?) does frequency monitoring and has local front panel
control.  GPIB is an option.

2100R (for "r"emote?) is equivalent to the 2100F but has no front panel; you
set the GRI with thumbwheels and it just takes off with no other operator
intervention required.  I think it has GPIB standard to allow further
control.

2100T (but actually, Austron seems to just call it the 2100 without a
suffix) does frequency and timing -- it can generate PPS sync'd to the LORAN
time-of-coincidence with UTC.

The older 2000 receiver does frequency monitoring and requires manual signal
acquisition using a scope.  It's quite a pain to get running, but a great
way to learn about how LORAN works!
