GL: broad band radar

[Ralph Yost]

"Navico, Lowrance, Northstar, and Simrad"
Are now all the same company....different labels. So the broadband radar
is the same no matter which brand you buy.
This means there is really only one product for the consumer to choose
from. Wait a few years for other companies to come out with their
versions and create real competition in the market place.

Ken, there was a very good article about it in the current issue of
PassageMaker magazine on page 48. To answer your question, it looks like
Navico, Lowrance, Northstar, and Simrad now offer broadband radars.
