'EXCELLENT'

Strengths:
Lightweight, provides good return

Weaknesses:
Requires electrical power

Overall:
Definately works, on numerous occasions while sailing to and taking part in ARC 2005 we all are convinced that shipping de concious course changes to avoid us.

'SEEMS TO DO WHAT ITS SAYS ON THE TIN.'

Strengths:
Easy to fit and minimal set up - believe the standard one is plug and play (we have the waterproof control box so had to solder our own plug on).

Weaknesses:
Haven't found any yet - the logo is a bit 'loud'. Plug a bit fiddly to solder and needs bigger entry point for cabling.

Overall:
Spent couple of hours installing on our boarding RIB. Had to make up our own plug (supplied). Anyone with simple DIY skills that can identify +ve and -ve supply should have no problem. I ve not seen the radar return yet as was helming the RIB with it fitted but apparently noticable difference.
