Using MARPA on Raymarine RL70CRC

[davepen]

Raymarine recommends that their heading sensor be used in conjunction with my Radar in order for MARPA to be most reliable.

Does anyone know if the heading data from a RayStar 175 would suffice?

I don't have room for their heading sensor/course computer.

Thanks.

I've never heard of a Raystar 175. If you mean Raystar 125, the answer is no.

[davepen]

Yes, I meant 125.

Get yourself a KVH autcomp 1000 heading sensor for about $300. It's the size of a coffee can and can be installed basically anywhere in the hull at around the water line away from any other magnetics.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.
