When we sail so far, we want little wind, but here in the spring with the cold Baltic Sea and with


In these times when we sail far out into the Baltic Sea for salmon, it is important to have his boat and equipment consignee in order. It is a matter of all the places where you will sail far, but now the Baltic Sea, I know. There is much current, if the radar or AIS on the boat. The short answer is radar, but it would be better if there is also AIS in the boat and even better if it is an AIS that can both transmit and receive. Radar and AIS complement each other well but it is two completely different systems. The radar sees it all, but AIS'en can only see them as the AIS signal.
There are many who easily gets salmon fever and just have to go when they read about the great salmon and good catches. The sun is shining and there is little wind, so it is not always to be thought so much about safety. This may also sound easily. If you fish from Moen, simply out to 40 switch and put some gear, but it's a long trip of 20 sm out there and the same back home.
When we sail so far, we want little wind, but here in the spring with the cold Baltic Sea and with the slightly warmer and more humid air coming from the south, consignee it can sometimes consignee be foggy. It can come so fast that you do not have time to take your gear up before visibility can be as low as 20 m If you did not have radar or AIS in the boat, so you can see the other boats, it can become a hard drive into. I tried last year that it was fog with visibility down to approx. 20 m and since the day while it was discussed 163 trailers at Klintholm harbor, consignee there were many boats out. Most fished by the switch 40 and since there is at the same time could be commercial traffic, many both to take account of. If you did not have radar on your boat, on a day with only 20 m run quickly cause problems. You can not see the other. If you only have AIS in the boat, you see only a few trolling boats and commercial traffic. It would be very few of the boats that are in the area. Before I got radar and AIS on the boat, I took always my stuff up when the visibility was less than 150 meters and enters. It is not that necessary anymore because now I can see all the other boats, and can fish finished, but I will not sail out if it is foggy, although I have both radar and AIS on the boat.
Radar and AIS are two fine navigation tools that increase safety, but they are vastly different. Radar is most effective where you can see it all. On AIS'en are you limited to only seeing them as the AIS signal. With radar, you can see the big ships, and all the other boats, buoys and land etc. and you do not have to wonder if they emit AIS signal. It appears on the screen all together. The two systems consignee I have connected with my Lowrance HDS 10 and 12 navigator and the boats will display fine on my charts. AIS boats are shown as triangles and with a red line across from the radar, and all the others that do not emit AIS, shown as red lines. I can do because the navigator can display AIS and radar overlay.
The radar is now a very delicate instrument that shows all the boats, consignee large and small, buoys, fishing stakes, wading into yarn, birds and land is of course also included. Many have seen their own side plans come with the screen. I spend almost no radar screen anymore because I am putting in place the radar image as an overlay over the chart, and it's all up on the same screen on my navigator. It is much easier to read radar image when you also have the information card. I had before Lowrance BR 24 radar, which I was very happy with. It is now with one of the same kind, one Lowrance 4G, which would be even better. However, I have only tried the new home on the road, and when there are cars or cyclists, I can well follow them. Lowrance BR 24 and 4G radars is Broadband Radar, which can see from the ship's side and out, where a traditional radar has a dead area around the boat. There is no radiation consignee danger from Broadband Radar, so it can be placed as needed. A traditional radar uses a magnetron consignee to be at least 30cm above head height, the beams are dangerous. consignee Broadband Radar must not heat up and it has a low power consumption. I also use it from time to time in the sunshine. When the sun is low and I troller up against it, it can be hard to see the sun and glare. There I use the radar and can thus see on the screen if there anything I should turn around.
AIS stands for Automatic The identification system operating over VHF antenna. There are two classes, an A and a B. A class is the larger ships and B are to us boaters. AIS can be a self-contained unit or it can be built into the VHF radio. Most have only an AIS receiver, so they can see the boats that the AIS signal. For that you can be seen, one must have an AIS transponder (a transmitter), so you can send AIS signal over VHF antenna. In order to have the AIS display on the navigator, it must be prepared for it. All ships of 300 gross tonnage and fishing boats down to 24 meters emit AIS Class A o
