Looking to add a radar to my boat. Will be installed with the current TZT3-12, SCX-20, and Navpilot 300. Will be used primarily for monitoring weather, but spotting birds would be great as well. I know domes aren't very good at spotting birds, but even a couple miles would be helpful. My eyes aren't what they used to be.
The DRS2D-NXT and the DRS4D-NXT appear to be identical except for the antenna size. My space is pretty limited and it would certainly be easier to install the smaller unit, but if there's a significant difference, I can make the 24" work. Can anyone enlighten me on real world differences? For both units, how are they at monitoring storms? I'm in a 25' center console, so I'd just like to know if I can avoid storms or where to go to minimize my exposure.
