Following on from the Solar panel thread, does anyone have experience of the MER-VEILLE radar detector device.
Made in France and as Jesters know our French cousins are pretty handy at making sailing boats go fast in deep water, so it should have some pedigree.
It looks a useful device, if it does what it says on the packet www.ciel-et-marine.com. More basic, but perhaps more practical than running an AIS receiver, especially since more vessels under 300 tonnes have RADAR than AIS at this stage of the game.
Does it pick up both RADAR and AIS signal or only RADAR? Will it pick up a RADAR signal when the transmitting vessel's RADAR is on standbye mode. how much power does it use?
