I'm trying to narrow down my choices. I told that greyscale works just
fine and that color lcd ,while nice, isn't nessasary. Any comments
from people who have used both? Would they think the extra money well
spent or should I get a bigger
greyscale screen? Thanks

More important then larger screen is open versus closed array (open gives
better target discrimination;i.e. a tug and barge appear as two separate
targets instead of one large one) and most important, power. A 4KW radar is
the lowest practical level if you want to be able to burn thru heavy
rain/snow. I would choose both of these before I invested in a color radar.
FYI I own a 10 inch screen, 6 foot open array with 10 KW on my boat in
monochrome and would NOT trade it for a 4 KW color unit.
