The US ones spin the other way ?

Perhaps the UK version comes complete with a set of blinkers and a certificate stating that it rules the waves.

I know it’s not the point of the thread but just picking upon the “wireless” bit.
A couple of years back I bought the Raymarine Quantum wireless radar thinking while I’m buying I’ll buy the latest technology but really what was the point. You run a wire back to the plotter anyway so might as well run a data cable at the same time. Because of excessive clutter in the marina I found the initial set up difficult so I assume on the limit of data speed.
It works well but there is always that delay when you switch on when you think will it/won’t it connect.
Are there any advantages that I’ve missed?
