@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.

Thanks Larry,
I already have seen that links, 800 UK pounds may be a correct price
for a stand alone unit with color display, waterproof, with 16
channel GPS and class B transponder, I think. I have an SR161 but it
depends on my laptop and I would prefer a stand alone unit.
What I want to know is where we can buy it in Europe now, since I can
ask a friend to bring one to me without aggregate more import taxes.
Preferable in UK since it is more easy to have people coming to Brazil
from there. I think that this unit would take so much time to be
available at Miltech Marine in USA.
Regards
Pascal
