I am considering replacing my broken radar with a the Nobeltec Radar

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:
