Raymarine self compatibility
"Lynn Coffelt" wrote in message ... Now, who is Raymarine? We sold and serviced Raytheon for many years, and JRC for a while. Is Raymarine related to those older names? Old Chief Lynn (still tooting horn) It is the heirs of the Raytheon legacy. A lot of their stuff was and some still is made in England but it is now some sort of transnational corporation with morphing of brand names and stuff. You, like me, probably remember when Japanese made stuff was crap. And then you also probably remember when it finally became the "good stuff". Through all there there were some American and European brands that were the benchmarks for quality. All the names that represented the benchmarks are still around, some have been morphed a little (Raytheon to Raymarine for example). Some of the brands like Furuno and JRC (Japanese Radio Company) are now "outsourcing" manufacture to places like China, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. You call yourself "Old Chief Lynn". What kind of Chief was that? A Navy Chief? Or something truly noble like a Native American? Cheers, Jack And then there were some that seem to have lost their way. (in the marine radar business) Wesmar radar, Benmar, RCA, Epsco/Seascan, Goldstar, Seatron, Sperry, Motorola, Kelvin Hughes, Whistler, Selena, Apelco, Oki, Ridge, Ray Jefferson, Seafarer and?????? One of Old Chief Lynn's careers was U.S. Air Force Old Chief Lynn I used to get calls for Si-Tex/Kodens on the local shrimp boats. It took me a while to get them not to call after I closed my shop down. I think I was the only one in a hundred miles that would even look at them. I just checked the file cabinet and found the books on the type 3 and type 7. The type 3 had a date of 1983. Leanne |
