That's just Larry beating the dead horse. The vast majority of users
have absolutely no trouble with their radomes. Larry just ceaselessly
whines about it.
I didn't know if I was just one of the lucky ones, but I've been happy
with the old Raymarine unit. That model (RL70C) was fairly new on the
market when I got it, and the radome (4kw) seal is actually so good that
the top is kind of hard to pry off. It's the condensation that I'm
concerned about, but the drain tit has been removed - that gives a
little larger hole for it to breathe. There is a newer model radome now,
if/when I do have problems with the old one. And an open array would be
nice to have too, but not at all necessary on a little recreational
boat, and a lot more expensive than the dome.

Thanks, Bill
