It's fairly new, and not many people in the US have it.

Is anyone on this board using this system?

What Mdf did you pair it with?

How is the Marpa function working?

In general, is it performing as advertised in regards to close, and longer distances?

Not even one reply?

I guess nobody has it yet

I take it you've read the various Panbo writeups? Ben seems impressed.

I have read everything I can find. I have used open arrays in the past, and now have the 4G dome. It is great for harbor, but I find it falls a bit short, for longer distances offshore. I also find its Marpa function a bit week, and others in the US have posted the same on forums. This new open array supposedly does well at larger offshore distances, but no one in the US has posted anything on our forums. I am also very interested how well it tracks other vessels.

Panbo writes good articles, but he is a sponsored reviewer, so I am looking for completely independent sources.

10 (or 20 with dual range) target MARPA seems rather low.
