Re: Radar or Not ?

Hah..me too. I enjoy watching flights taking off and arriving at SFO and OAK when I am in the area. I tag them using ARPA. It's sort of a geek thing to do when I am not busy with other things. :)

Re: Radar or Not ?

Radars generally don't lie. If it is saying something is there, then it is probably there, especially with really solid contacts like a breakwater or a channel marker.

There is occasional ghosting...

Re: Radar or Not ?

Agreed, the rain clutter adjustment does not make things perfect again, just better than if there was no adjustment.

Re: Radar or Not ?

I have what is called "broadband" radar, (which is a misleading term). If one manually adjusts the rain clutter setting it works fine.

Re: Radar or Not ?

If you are going to be operating in busy harbors at night or in fog then radar is pretty much mandatory from a safety standpoint. Get a radar that has AIS integration.
