Is the scanner one of those types with a
narrow vertical propagation? Honestly, I know very little about Radar, but I'm learning. Yesterday I spent a bit of time with it (and the manual) while Suzanne sailed. RB |

Yesterday I spent a bit of time with it (and the manual) while Suzanne sailed. There are two types, so far as I'm aware. The one with a narrow vertical propagation pattern is suited to motorboats becuase they don't heel. If that type was used on a sailboat, the output would be firing into the surface of the water on one side, and into the sky on the other. So, there's a type with a wider vertical propagation pattern which helps to ensure that land and other craft are still within the scanning area of a heeling sailboat. The type with the narrow propagation has, I believe, better range for a given power because the pattern has inherently less dissipation. -- Wally I demand rigidly-defined areas of uncertainty! www.art-gallery.myby.co.uk |

Well, for you that's not saying much.

He is under the illusion that we are interested in his sailing exploits.
Yea...the illusion that I steer this group as I wish and that most posts are for/about/to me!!! Including most of yours! Bwahahahahaha! RB |
