T&T: A Radar Question and ARPA

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Hi  Jim,
 
I  second Gil's recommendation on the Furuno 19 series. We have the 1942,  
which has ARPA and ARPA is wonderful. However, you will find, once you have  
AIS, how long it takes from acquisition for ARPA to become really accurate.  If 
you are watching both, trust the AIS!

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.
