RE: [CA11] RADAR Selection help. HD Color radome vs Quantum 2
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum SE-FL,

Such choices are based upon the features which are most important to the operator. The features which are unique to HD radomes, the radome choice of fishermen) include:
- Bird Mode ... locating flocks of birds is frequently used method of locating bait which in turn is a method of locating larger fish
- 48 RPM ... faster rotation of the array is a valuable feature to fast boats (ex. planing hulls).
- Weather tracking ... magnetron based radar systems such as this are capable of spotting and tracking storm cells and precipitation
- Greater power to see through weather.

The features which are unique to Quantum 2 radomes include:
- Doppler radar (targets moving closer are marked red; targets moving away are colored green)
- low power (a consideration for sailing vessels ... less of a factory for powerboats)
- excellent target definition
- excellent close in target performance.
