Anyone know anything about marine radar detectors? Brands ? models?
Websites? I'm just doing some reserch for a friend.

They work. They are cheap. They may get you killed if you don't have radarFMCCARTY said:Anyone know anything about marine radar detectors? Brands ? models?

Dennis Pogson said:These devices were popular in the 70's when small boat radar was very
expensive. They told you that a radar was operating within a given range,
and had a bearing compass to enable you to "detect" the approx. bearing of
the vessel.
As the poster says, they didn't tell you that you were about to be run down
by a 300,00-ton tanker with his radar switched off.
I don't think they will ever come back and replace AIS!

It tells you when to fire up the ECM suite!
;-)
Actually I have wondered about the viability of an 'available light' radar
set... It would use the transmitters on other vessels and some **serious**
correlation DSP to produce a plot without needing to transmit as long as
someone was radiating in the general area.

Dan,
I did a study for a light aircraft collision advoidance device.
It worked on transponder pulses. If your craft's speed and heading are
known, the math to resolve the "taget"'s bearing, range, speed and
heading isn't that difficult, otherwise it *is* pretty difficult.

except an invitation to spend 1900 eu!
