Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm gonna ask a question which is likely to make me awfully unpopular and perhaps be labeled by some as stupid: why would you want to update and spend any money on a Loran, as opposed to yanking it out of the aircraft? Given that handheld GPS units are so inexpensive and powerful, that they'll keep working even with total loss of electrical power, and that the Loran stations' lifetime is in question, I would pitch the Loran. Sorry, if this offends. Perhaps others will jump in here and agree/disagree with me.
