Many experienced cruisers say radar is their most important instrument.
With today s lineup of compact LCD units, almost any boater can afford to have radar on board. The slim, compact LCD radars are perfect for small and midsized sail- and powerboats. They tend to draw less power than their larger CRT counterparts and manufacturers say they re easier to read in sunlight. Radar antennas range considerably in size, power and price. The RL80C is one of Raytheon s Pathfinder models and can be used in tandem with other radars in the series.
