hi,
Does anyone have, or know where I can find any info on a Dantronic yacht navigator.

I have been offered one of these, but unsure as to exactly what its for or does. Any info appreciated, would just like to know what this piece of equipment does and what its used for, before I say yes to it.

I have no further info on it or model no, just that it has 2 screens/displays, above one screen says latitude and N/S. The other screen longitude E/W, and has a row of I think 16 buttons below that.

cheers,
mark.

Hi Mark,
The only reference I can find (this is not really our subject) is that of using now-discontinued radio stations, which could be the Decca system. If so, this is a collectors item, not a working system.

OK thanks for that.

Mark.
