T&T: Radar Icom MR570R-- Anyone have any experience with this model?

[John Baker]

I'd be curious to know who is making these radars.  I seriously doubt Icom is but I don't know.  Garmin is blasting onto the radar scene as well and something tells me they might be subcontracting theirs too.  There are a bunch of new players in the radar market and I was just wondering if they are making their own units or someone else is and just slapping a name on it.
   
  Heck, JRC made radars for Raytheon  for the longest time.
   
  Trawler on,
  John

  I never heard of an Icom radar... I'd be wary, and probably stick with 
Furuno, or JRC if you want inexpensive but good. Check Consumer's Marine 
Electronics for good pricing: http://www.consumersmarine.com/
