Radar effectivness
beryl must be edykated coz e writed:
Is there any advantages in having a 4kw as opposed to 2kw antenna apart from the additional range. Which for me is a unwanted feature. Will the higher powered unit detect targets in close proximity (less than a mile) that would possibly have not been detected by the lower powered unit or is everything just lost in sea clutter. Has anyone had experience of changing to a more higher power antenna and the possible advantages. A bigger, i.e. greater diameter antenna will give a narrower band of definition but the output power is primarily for range. Also can your "head" unit operate with an alternate Radome? -- Ian |
