T&T: A Radar Question

[Gil Johnson]

I think you asked about a stand alone radar (not integrated).  If so, I'd
suggest that Furuno's best attribute is their radar function.  They still make
stand alone radar systems, such as the1932MK2 with a CRT display.  I had this
on a previous boat and can you you it's great at target acquisition.  I could
see birds taking off in the distance or the nasty fish stakes at night in the
Chesapeake.  I didn't have the ARPA option, so I can't speak to it.
For the
price, it may be worth looking at intregated (radar, chartplotter, depth/fish
finder) units.  The new RayMarine units that allow for a split display at
different ranges would seem worth the look (no personal experience).
