Hi,
Looking at fitting Radar to my Beneteau 361.
I had a JRC 1000 a few years ago.. I liked the low power drain and small
radome.
JRC don't market in the UK anymore so options seem to be Furuno or Furuno?

Furuno make an 18" 2Kw radome. not sure how big the cable to the display is
though, the JRC was pretty large! About an inch diameter! I was looking for
something simple to install

Garmin seem to make radars these days.. but 4Kw? I will be running the
engine to keep the radar going.. might as well get a motor boat!

Any thoughts on who makes small low power radomes for sailors please?

Regards

Bob Miles


The 4Kw is only pulse power not average power, for instance my JRC 1500
is a 1.5Kw radar but only draws 4A at 12v (48w) when in transmit mode.
