Talk about favorite or hated suppliers, recommend good materials or sources, or anything of the same ilk. This is also a good place to suggest unique ideas and innovations you may have come up with.

Ouch! I would give serious consideration to the Simrad/ Lowrance broadband radar. Less power draw, better close up resolution, and much less electomagnetic radiation. Has anyone had experience with these new to the market radars? Fair winds Phil
