![]() To Peter Blake - what are the small boats doing, which do not have or could not afford a radar on their boats? So AIS-Transponder is much cheaper ( less than 700€) for seeing and to be seen.Īnd as far as I know, must all commercial boats/ship in the Netherlands and Germany from this or next year on have a AIS-Transponder on board - inclusive all fishing boats.īy the way, I´ve got echomx active radar reflector two days after my event with the High Speed Ferry. To Samuel - I know a lot of races - specially skutjes races in the Netherlands, where the participating boats have to have a AIS-on board - also in some races of the Kiel Week. The passive radar reflectors are senseless, so I´m told. The X-band response time is greater than the new ISO 8729-2 standard. The Active-X has a minuscule current draw of 23mA on standby. The Active-X increases detection especially in poor conditions therefore reducing the risk of collision. Talking to a crew member of an othe ferry boat some days later, I was told, that it is nearly impossible to see a sailing boat on the radar screen, if the sailing boat does not have a active radarrelector. This will improve your vessel's radar cross section and help to alert oncoming vessels of your position. I could give a warning VHF-call to the ferry boat, because I was warned by the AIS- Receiver (now I want to sell it). ![]() Echomax Active-X Radar Target Enhancer - 35m cable. I have ordered a AIS -Transponder last winter ( it is already installed, but I can´t use it till end of March) after I was nearly ran over by a Dutch High-Speed Ferryboat between Harlingen and the island of Vlieland.
