I am considering replacing my broken radar with a the Nobeltec Radar system. I am a long time user of Nobeltec software and comfortable with using a PC on board. Any experience or feedback on this integrated radar/pc system would be appreciated in helping make this decision. LarryR Hi Larry, I installed the 4kw radar 2 years ago; works wonderfully. I really like the radar overlay and side-by-side functionality. This year I upgraded to the Ethernet version of the radar-box; I now have 960x960 resolution of the radar image (helps to discern smaller blobs). I also added a solid state gyro to keep the image stabilized and upgraded the CPU from a 1 GHz VIA to a 600-1600 MHz Pentium M to get the redraw rate up. I suggest you make sure you have enough horsepower in the PC as the radar image's fast redraw sure eats cycles. Here's an image of the radar display side-by-side with a radar overlay in combination with AIS targets from this year's trip: http://www.scanner391.net/e107_plugi...album=35&pos=3 (click on the image to view the screendump 1-on-1) Kees |
