--> Avionics-List message posted by: ROBINFLY@aol.com

Friend of mine just updated his panel in his 421 and gave me his M-1 loran as 
a gift.  The shop misplaced the tray but found a new one without connector, 
and gave it to my friend no charge.

Now I have a M-1 with tray but no connector.  It looks like a "centronic" 
connector, but the centronic connector I obtained from my local electronic 
store does not fit.  Does anyone know what is the name, make, and part number 
of this connector?

The shop also misplaced the "box" between the antenna and M-1.  What is the 
"box" for, and is it necessary to have this "box" if I use an antenna 
designed for loran?

Many thanks,

Robin

Hi.
That box is a Pre-amp / antenna impedance matching unit (with a FIXED length
of Coax attached) and is ABSOLUTELY necessary.... Also not cheap. You will
also need a Loran antenna matched to the box.
The connector should have a part number stamped on the shell. You can get
the mate from Conector World (Seattle WA) among other connecor specialty
houses. (generally slightly cheaper than from an AV Shop).  I don't  have
ready access to my Avionics books at the moment, so I can't give you the
part number.
