    Hi Jim, Anne,

    Well I got the radar going on land (on top of the car!!) Poor echoes but I think I need to adjust the tuning presets as the best returns were obtained with the tuning knob hard over.

    Thanks again


    Enjoy WB festival. I'm sad I wont get to it but the consolation is I might have a crew on trimaran sailing East Indonesia (Moluccas, Irian Jaya) in July. Actually the owners are in Hobart presently -camping on their bush block on side of Mt Wellington - sailblogs.com -"Shanghaied" a good read

    Hi Jim hope all is well and you are enjoying another great sailing season in Ozzie. I came across a post here on the forum that detailed how to repiar the problem with our Navman auto pilot head. This was in a very good detailed video. I had just purchaced a new one from the UK when this came up. I remember you had fixed yours a couple of years ago and thought you might like to have a look.If you cant find it I have a copy so can send it if you would like.
    I am on my way back to Cairns after 3months in the Whitsundays.

    Hi Jim,
    Ocean Grove is on Surf Coast near Geelong. Looks like you are on move and might be difficult to sync up with you before you leave Eden. This message seems still public so might be best to go private(if there is a way?).
    From your point view that reply of $125 offer might be the go if you need it soon. I was hoping to establish if I had a workable display and/or head by plugging in to a known working one. If this turned out Ok I'd even contemplating 'lending' my display to you in the interim since I am not cruising yet.
    I'd rather stick with a (cheap) standalone radar principally because I do not want to buy an exhorbitantly priced chart plotter which are necessary even though the scanner bits themselves are more reasonably priced. A glimmer on horizon is some are now reverse engineering radar scanner to plug into a laptop such as the opencpn efforts. R Phil

    Hi, Toby,

    This email is from Myron (Sonny) Boyajian.
    While reminiscing with my wife Carol about some youthful (mis)adventures in building and driving hot rods, your name came up in conversation. I then recalled that I had bumped into your sister Alison at swap meet some years ago, and I recalled she said you were living on a sailing boat. So just recently, with some digging, I found your name and email address by searching sailing websites.

    If I have made contact with the right person, and you wish to communicate, please write back. If I have the wrong person, or you would rather not communicate, just delete this email. You may Google my name to get some idea of who is writing this message.

    Best regards,

    Myron Boyajian
    PS: My only seafaring activity thus far is designing an electric auxiliary power unit for a friend's boat

    Jim,

    I enjoyed your post about towed generators. Do you have any thing that you could send to me about how you built your towed water geneator.

    Many Thanks,

    Glen
