Hi
Does anyone have a back copy of motor boat monthly or similar that has the review on radar reflectors?
I need the review on the Pains wessex Reflecta SC42.
Just wheather it is any good or not compared to the other types.
Cheers
Joe
 
If you want a real comparison, IPC have done a couple of reports available here and scroll down to a fair reflection in Jul 2001 :
Radar Reflectors: Cyclops 2 and 3, Plastimo Octahedral 16in, Reflecta SC42, Firdell Blipper 210-7, Pains-Wessex Ocean Sentry, Echomax 9, Mobri Magnum S-4, Plastimo Tube Reflector, Sowester 18in Octahedral, Trem T55 Echo-Power, Visiball II

and newer systems in Jul 2005:
Radar reflectors: Davis Echomaster, Echomax EM230 & EM230 Midi Basemount, Firdell Blipper 210-7, Plastimo Octahedral 16in, Plastimo Tube & Visiball, Tri-Lens Standard, Sea-Me Enhancer, Tri-Lens Large
 
Sorry it did not feature the Reflecta model in the June 05 YM but to save you buying the printed test - the clearest echo ratings were as follows:
9/10 - SeaMe
8/10 - Trilens Large
6/10 - Echomax
5/10 - Trilens Medium
4/10 - Echomaster
3/10 - Octohedral (16inch)
3/10 - Tube - Large size
2/10 - Blipper
1/10 - Visiball

Hope this helps

A blip on the Blipper?

Seems strange that the Blipper should be rated second best in one test and second worst in another test! I don't think the Blipper has changed significantly, so have the other reflectors on the market suddenly got so much better?
