Useless. Wrong band! Boat radars are on X-band (or what used to be X-
band). They operate on 10GHZ....WAY too far from 2450 Mhz microwave leak
detectors.


Well, not quite right, but close. There are a number of S Band Marine
Radars in use, and available, worldwide. They are mostly used on ships
LARGER than 1200 Tons, and used as Weather Radars, and Long Distance
Position Fixing. Larry is correct, in that MOST Consumer and Small Ship
Radars, are X Band, and your detector wouldn't see ANY of those.
