Sperry Marine VMFT Radar

I have to say that so far i have come across quite a number of radars in the market including furuno and JRC radars make from Japan, Kelvin Hughes radar from UK, Kongsberg Maritime radar DB10 from Norway. Furuno radar has quite a big share market in commercial marine due to it's cheap and good nature. I have to say my preference is still sperry marine radar. It was a perfect match when they combine the Decca radar transceiver with the latest technology of display unit - Vision Master FT. This has make it so good and easy to commission and service. The operation aspect is also great as it can combine ECDIS and radar in one console. So ship owner who wanted to fulfill the IMO requirement and wanted to upgrade their radar display with old BridgeMaster E either X or S band transceiver has become much more easy. The time taken to commission a VMFT radar display has shorten very much, so shipowner can upgrade the radar without been delayed for the chartered time and $$ lost due to delay in cargo delivery. Today is New Year Eve of year 2011, I wish all people i know, including my peers, friends, relatives and family member have a good start and great year in 2011. I hope and wish all of them good health, great jobs and all wishes come true.

祝大家新年快乐
