Default info wanted: how to use radar

My Raymarine MARPA works well. It's pretty fun to play with when you're in
the ICW and there are a lot of shrimp boats right offshore. Target about six
of them and watch their predicted tracks.

Larry,

Any bugs with your Ray MARPA or does it generally work as advertised? Can

it
track targets when your boat is slewing in azimuth like in a big following

sea?


Considering upgrading radar to a MARPA capable one and am trying to decide
which one really works well. Had differing reports including one that said

his
worked poorly until he upgraded his heading reference to a KVH Gyro Trac.

The
pure fluxgate heading sensor didnt do well.

Any info appreciated.
