your present
position using
this
feature,
first
press
the

key.
The menu shown below

Now
press
the
key adjacent

waypoint
number increments each

save a
waypoint,
so
you
don't have
to
keep
track of the

numbers. Once
you've
stored the
waypoint,
the Z-9500 returns to the loran
display.
Saue
Waypoint
All Loran-C receivers work on
this
principle.
Most modern receivers
also
display latitude/longitude.
The receiver takes the TD information
and,
using
a
complex
mathematical
formula,
converts it
to latitude/
longitude position
data. You can
display
both
TD's and
latitude/longi-
tude on the Z-9500 to determine
your position.

INITIALIZATION
The Z-9500 must be initialized or "told where it is" the first time
it's
turned on. Once it locks on to the
proper
stations and
shows a
position,
the initialization
process
won't have to be
repeated.
The Z-9500 stores
the
present position,
GAl,
and stations used in
memory
each time ft's
turned off.
Therefore,
the next time it's turned on it has the
necessary
data to search for the
proper
stations for the area
you're
in. If
you
travel
a
long
distance with the Z-9500 turned off
(over
100
miles), you
will
need to re-initialize the unit.
There are three different
ways
to initialize the Z-9500. You can
give
it
a
GRI
only,
a
position only,
or both. There are
advantages
and disadvan-
tages
to each.
INITIAL POSITION ONLY
If
you
initialize the Z-9500
using
the Initial Position
only starting mode,
the
unit
will
first
pick
the best GAl to use in
your
location. It then
looks
for
the loran stations in that GAl chain. Once it finds
them,
the Z-9500
will
automatically
switch stations until it can
give
a
good
"fix" and
