Re: Collision avoidance - What spec radar
I am strongly considering the radar option, modern sets seem tolerable on power, they are also useful for navigation in costal waters and I prefer the idea of knowing wats out there so I can avoid it rather than signaling that I am there so other people can avoid me!
Big decision is what spec. The more sophisticated set which are stabilised and may have mappa are much more expensive (around 2K) the basic set can be as little as £800 but require a lot more imput to fix target positions which may not be practical solo. Having never used radar before I dont have the experience to base the decision on so what does anyone think - Basic, Stabilised, Mappa?
