    Hi Folks,
     Ask the manufacturer but I think the verticle beamvidth on most small-boat
    radars is much nearer 20 degrees than 3.
     This is why not everybody buy self-leveling radar mounts.
     The radar beam IS dangerous to humans, and ALL electronics. Keep tour other
    antennas OUT of the radar beam!!. When I worked at Trimble we had not a few
    GPS antennas fried by being in the path of a small-boat radar.
     Eric
