Hi, Could somebody tell me what is device circle in red no marking on it. (See photo) Because I need to reorganize the top of my arch so nothing interfere with the radar beam. It was like this when we bought the boat . Thanks Paul

    Correct for 100 points!

    Mine is similar - maybe a little farther away from the radar, but not much.

    None of those should be messing with your radar.

    Yes, in some ideal world all those antenna are spread out. lol. At best your GPS antenna looks high, otherwise your set up mirrors a typical one. Are you having problems with the radar?

    Thanks BD. For now the radar seems to be ok for what I know about radar which is not much. I will be taking a course soon. For the GPS I do have a mounting bracket which will have it sitting lower than the radar beam that I will be installing. By the way what do you think if I was going to mount my VHF antenna on the side of the arch instead of the top is it worth the trouble ? Thanks Paul

    I bet your reception will get worse if mounted sideways (it is not water tight that way) and be a real pain sitcking out. I would not put the energy into moving it personally. A class to use the radar is well worth your time :)
