@l77g2000hsb.googlegroups.com:
what is the price
Jersey Electrics says:
"Projected price around £800"
You'd think it had a kilowatt transmitter, not just TWO WATTS....
It will display you from a 50' sailboat mast antenna about 4-5 miles at
that power level....unless you're around a corner, which is what we're
buying them for....then 2 watts is NOT GOING TO GET OVER THAT CLIFF!
So sad....VHF will bounce and display you but not at so low a power level
in a ditch waterway. Too bad.
