Choosing the right radar

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum LimaBavo,

Raymarine's Digital Radomes are no longer available. For the use specified, both the RD418HD and RD424HD would be excellent choices. The longer array of the RD424HD will provide increased target definition and clarity, increasing the likelihood that that the two closely located targets would be rendered as two individual target images rather than the single larger target image. Ultimately, the choice would be a subjective one. I have installed a RD424HD on my own boat and have found its performance to be outstanding for use in similar cruising.
