Anyone know anything about marine radar detectors? Brands ? models? Websites? I'm just doing some reserch for a friend. Icky These devices were popular in the 70's when small boat radar was very expensive. They told you that a radar was operating within a given range, and had a bearing compass to enable you to "detect" the approx. bearing of the vessel. As the poster says, they didn't tell you that you were about to be run down by a 300,00-ton tanker with his radar switched off. I don't think they will ever come back and replace AIS! -- Digital Photo-charts fo all UK areas. Remove 'nospam' to reply. |
