Hey UD, I love the radar! How and when do like using it? I always thought on my next boat it would be a fun toy!

Thanks.

Its an indispensable nav aid in my book.
I refuse to go ocean running without a radar as I cross the busiest port on the west coast (long beach) with unpredictable visibility.

I often take families and business partners on trips and am looking for 100% situational awareness under any condition day or night.

At night on big lakes its super helpfull seeing the shoreline as well as who is where without lights on.

When I combine the Radar with AIS and GPS data concurrently the only captain with better situational awareness than me is captain Kirk.

That is the coolest! What would be the minimum height for the radar dome to do it's job? Could it mounted on the deck and still have enough "site"?

This table tells you what your radar horizon is at what height off the water.

You don't want a magnetron radar spraying in your face- a broadband radar ok.

The output of a maggie can damage corneas.
Mine is a 4KW mag type.
