| something
| | basic
| | | for occasional use in fog, and at night, so I don't get run over
by a
| | ferry or
| | | tanker. I sail mostly in the Long Island Sound.
| |
| | The JRC will suit your intended usage. The reason you see so many
JRCs
| is
| | because they are cheap. They are also newcomers on the radar scene
by
| | comparison to other brands. Furuno for instance has been around a
lot
| | longer. You'll see them on the better equiped boats. If you are
| comfortable
| | sailing around New York with the K-Mart of radars where everyone is
| judged
| | by their toys.... it will do you fine.
| |
| |
| | I don't sail around New York very much, and I am not looking to be
| judged on
| | toys. I have a practical need for a basic radar unit that will help
me
| when
| | there is fog, and at night. It's not really a toy. Are JRC radars
really
| so bad?
| | They have a full line, and not all of them are exactly low cost
units.
| Furuno
| | also seems to have a range of units starting about as cheap as JRC.
| Overall, I
| | don't see JRC as being especially cheap compared to Furuno or
others.
| |
| | When I read the literature from the manufacturers, they all seem to
be
| geared
| | for how well they work for fast boats, which says to me, that maybe
| there is a
| | radar unit that is especially geared to slow (sail) boats, that
trades
| speed for
| | lower power consumption.
| |
| | Forgetting price, for a moment, can you tell me about comparative
| quality, and
| | why one entry level unit might be better than another brand? Is an
entry
| level
| | Furuno better than an entry level JRC? I can read brochures and
| magazines myself
| | - I am looking for people who own or have used various models.
Someone
| who has
| | owned more than one radar would be especially helpful.
| |
| | Thanks!

Oh Yeah.... got paid a full day at double wages since I was called in to
work due to contractor/client request and ended the day with an on-site
meeting that had so many white hard hats it looked like a flock of
seagulls.

I've been recalled to do a couple of days work on-site to get everyone on
track and on the same page. Great day for getting my ego stroked!
