Differences in models of Foster500 loran

[Ray Andraka]

Can anyone enlighten me as to the differences in the Foster
LRN500 based on the part number. So far I have found
P/N 805D0630-01
P/N 805D0630-11
P/N 805D0630-21
P/N 805D0630-31
mine is a -01, s/n 614. It does not have the mid-continent
Loran chain, but does have outputs for remote annunciators
(which are connected). The suffix does not seem to follow
serial number either, as I am aware of a -11 with an
apparently higher serial number than a -31. If I can find a
reasonably priced replacement, I'd like to swap mine for one
that has the midcontinent chain, however I'm not sure how
the part number suffix maps to features. If anyone has this
info, I'd like to hear about it.

Got the answer from L-3:

-01 unit is a non-TSOd; Blue lights; LCD; LRN500
-11 is a TSO'd; Blue lights; LCD; LRN500
-21 is a TSO'd; Black face; F4 Phoenix
-31 is a TSO'd; Blue Lights; LRN501
