JRC 3000 is selling for $1575, I believe its for a seven inch screen and a 4kw radar. I seen this offered on Boat Bandit?
West Marine is offering the Raymarine C70 w 2kw radar for $1900. Its a multi unit machine that will allow you to use a fish finder, gps etc..
You probably should be looking at a 4 kw machine if you want to be using it for locating birds. Using radar is not that difficult, however you must learn to use it during the day in clear weather. Everytime I go out the first thing I do is turn on all my electronics and let them warm up. With the radar, get use to looking at targets on the screen and matching them to the visuals you see on the water. If you do this, then the first time you actually are out in the fog, you should be able to determine boats from channel markers etc.etc.. Good luck with your purchase, its probably going to be the best $1500 spent.
