@ Alpenskipper & @Arne:
- would you recommend the wireless version for a trailable vessel?
- are you satisfied with the performance of the sensor - how is calibration achieved?
- any comments on supplier support?
Are you aware of any similar (possibly lower-priced) products?
Thanks for advice.
Hi!
I dont't know a cheaper device using this technique.
I use the wired version, connected via a so called windyplug to the nmea 2000 network. It is running fine, resolution seems to be better than the traditional winvanes.
Especially in low wind - high waves situations it is performing super.
Calibration was not necessary in my case- you could turn the transducer on the masttop or calibrate it via the serial port.
Support is good, i had several contacts with the supplier in France.
Best Regards
Martin
