Radar recommendation...

[stmbtwle]

Whatever you buy LEARN HOW TO USE IT. There is such a thing as a "radar-assisted collision". If in doubt read "Collision Course"

After you install the critter go to the local sea school and get your "radar observer's license". Not that you need the license but the course will be well worth the expense.

Alex, book will help, but will never be a substitute for using the unit in daylite to learn what the "echoes" mean,,,

How are you planning to mount a 'radome'?

As soon as I buy a (radar) unit, am having my dealer install it along with my other accessories I have accumulated thus far...

inkblu: having sailed from Block to Montauk in thick fog I strongly recommend radar.

Thanks Bruce... am shopping for one now. I guess am deciding between the JRC and a Furuno.

Hmmmm.

I have the JRC 1500, it is pretty basic but works very well.

If you can spend a few more bucks, this one is a better machine

Thanks Les. I was looking at the model with the JRC you recommended.
