GL: broad band radar

[David H Sorenson]

Broad band radar is great for close in work, but not so great for long
distance. It has much higher discrimination of targets, particularly at
closer range. If I had my druthers I would have both pulse radar
(traditional radar) and broadband on board. Don't have it yet, but all I
have read is that it is superior for close range use which is what most
us recreational boaters actually use radar for.
