🔍 Key Concepts

• LORAN pulse groups and timing patterns (how stations are distinguished) • Difference between pulse recurrence rate and frequency of transmission • How a shipboard LORAN receiver actually displays or uses station identity information

💭 Think About

• Does a LORAN receiver identify stations using continuous radio frequency differences, or by the timing pattern of the pulses? • Think about what information the navigator actually sees on the LORAN display when selecting a master and secondary station pair. • Ask yourself whether LORAN operates like a standard radio where you tune to a specific frequency, or more like a timing-based system where groups of pulses are keyed in a specific rhythm.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how LORAN chains are defined (master and secondaries) and what characteristic is unique for each station. • Check whether frequency is the same or different for all stations in a LORAN chain. • Confirm what the term pulse recurrence rate (PRR) means in relation to LORAN station identification.
