Hi all,
What are peoples "real world" experiences for ocean sailing usage of the
Raymarine HD colour
radar vs Quantum 2 doppler?
Reason being, seen a
boat we like and may end up
buying and it has the HD colour
radar on it and we currently have the Quantum 2 doppler radar on our
current boat so could swap them over as the MFDs on both
boats are compatible.
I know the Quantum 2 is solid state, 24Nm range, instant on, less
power usage and newer BUT see the HD colour has 48Nm range, meant to have better
weather detection, dual range etc
Erring towards keeping the Quantum 2 as newer but after real world opinions please, as the next boat we will do more crossings away from land etc
