Nice little radar for NEAR objects, where it counts. Mount it LOW down,
not way up high trying to see targets 16 miles away. If it's 12' off the
deck, it'll show you that bouy in the fog nearly right up until you run
over it! Way up high, it'll overshoot the bouy at the worst time....when
you're close!



I have a JRC 1000. I use it the most for anchiring. It shows the other
boats in the anchorage down to less then 1/16 of a mile. You can make
sure there is a couple of hundred feet all around very easily.
