Entry-Level LCD Radars

Aug 25, 2004

An LCD radar roundup over at Practical-Sailor.com will help you prevent overspending on this very important piece of technology onboard.

Furuno at Amazon.com

"Our field test of seven relatively inexpensive radar systems (average price around $1,500) reveals Furuno's 1712 as the top choice among monochrome displays. For color, we prefer the Simrad RA30. The 7" display on Furuno's 1712—our overall top pick—has clearly labeled function buttons and a simple cursor pad; it offered the best menu navigation and system control among the units we tested."
