If you had a choice between the DRS12ANXT/6 and the DRS25ANXT/4 for use in bird spotting and small boat avoidance which would you choose and why?

6 foot stick will give you better target discrimination and be better for birds. I personally would get the DRS12ANXT over the other with a 4ft stick.

Why wouldn't you get the DRS25A-NXT with the 6 foot array? If you have space for it with the DRS12A-NXT? That will give you the best performance for birds and small targets.

I believe that the DRS25ANXT/6 is on backorder until mid-Jan. At least that is what I am being told by my rep. I have everything else for my system, but the speed at which I am getting my system installed, that will be right on time.

The array is a separate part. When I ordered mine, we got the DRS25A-NXT pedestal and 15M cable as one item and the 6 foot antenna as a second item. Maybe you should press them on the point. If they can sell you a 12 with the 6 foot, they should be able to sell you a 25 with a 6 foot.

When I ordered my DRS25ANXT 4 foot I had the same issue. What my dealer ended up doing was instead of ordering the DRS25ANXT 4 foot package he order just the DRS25ANXT pedestal and then order me a 4 foot antenna separately. Might want to see if your dealer would be able to go this route.

Thanks for the suggestion, due to my work schedule it isn't really hurting me to not have it in my hands a the moment. I am not going to be able to get to continue my install until mid Jan at this point anyhow. If it still isn't here by then, that may be something that I lean on them to so. They have the 6ft stick in stock, just not the pedestal. (Was also told that it may be arriving sooner anyhow, but they didn't want to make that as a promise. Everything on my order that was "backordered" has showed up sooner than expected up to this point anyhow.)
