479.0. "ML 8000 note" by RDF::RDF (Rick Fricchione) Fri Feb 13 1987 08:37

    For anyone interested in linking a loran in with their electronics...
    
    I am installing a Datamarine Link 5100 system on my boat and wanted
    to hook up the Micrologic 8000 I got for Christmas to it.  The 
    ML documentation says its compatable, and the sales people sure
    say it is, but I called Micrologic and got the straight scoop.
    
    You need a special version of the ML 8000, the 8000-S  (which is NMEA
    and 0183) compatable. It runs about $100 more than the basic 8000,
    which is currently a pretty hot seller.  Rather than return
    it (since the price went up) I'm having Micrologic upgrade it. 
    
    I'm happy with the loran, but wish I'd known up front...
    
    FYI

    I am still puzzled a bit by the standards mentioned by Rick for
    interfacing all this stuff. I asked a year ago, and will ask again:
    Any one know where to find a list of these standards ?
    
    I would like to make a remote for my Loran, and a L/C:autopilot
    interface one of these days.
