codpiece Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I have on my cuddy roof a large tubeular radar reflector, I am looking for the ''thinner model'' and having dificulty in finding one in the chandlers, any idea ? Derek. Quote
Brian Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Derek If you mean the 2" tubular type, you ought to read this report first (look at the recommendations on page 32). They are not recommended (neither are the 4" tubular ones). QinetiQ Radar Relector Report Edited January 25, 2011 by Brian Quote
codpiece Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 Thank you Brian, What do you use? or anyone else? ta, Derek. Quote
Rob Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I have a old skool metal one: http://www.force4.co.uk/247/Force-4-18--Radar-Reflector.html Mounted on my boat hook with some shock elastic - I believe it should be used in "rain catcher" orientation. Must get some one to ping me with and without when out. Rob Quote
Brian Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Thank you Brian, What do you use? or anyone else? ta, Derek. On my previous boat I had same as Rob, the Octahedral, I made up a bracket so it sat in the "Rain Catcher" position. Got to get one for MegaByte, it's one of the items Mike recommended when he did my Sea safety Check. Quote
codpiece Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 As usual, many thanks lads. Off to buy my ''octa thingy'' Derek. Quote
