Next message: Louise Coulson: "Re: radar"
We have a 40 foot trawler with an old, old radar unit (the kind you stick
your face in the viewer) that we need to update. Information on
minimum-maximum kW transmit power would be appreciated. How important is
the higher (4.0 kW of transmit energy) wattage in inclement weather? Is it
really necessary for foggy, drizzly conditions? How about the screen - LCD
or CRT? What about radome as opposed to open array antennas? I guess what
I'm asking is, "Is the higher price of the stronger unit and the open array
antenna really worth it or really necessary?"
