great white Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) I have an old but very good Raymarine pathfinder set. But I believe Adam is very pleased with his more modern Lowrance set. I am sure that has a more streamline display. I know those of us that had them were using them last weekend, and I for one was very pleased to have it. It may be down to matching it to other things on the boat so they can talk to each other. Charlie Edited May 25, 2010 by great white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niggle Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 You are right Charlie,just being a penny pincher ,I`ll probably get the broadband Lowrance @ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 We've just fitted the Northstar BR24 broadband which is identical and it is stunning. I can pick up birds on the water, pot buoys and god knows what else. From research prior to purchase, it is excellent for closer range work and blows traditional radar out of the water under about 8nm, working above that I believe the traditional type starts to give clearer readings...

Adam F Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Nige - what plotter do you have and what size? Can you network with that? If not I'm more than pleased with my Lowrance - stunning performance for the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
