I would recommend the AN/SLQ-32 detector system. It is kind of old, but
does the job.

A radar detector relies on the other vessel having theit radar on, so
there's a signal for the detector to "detect", far better to have his own

I need info on marine radar detectors. Here's the reason. I have a friend
that is planning to cross the atlantic solo. He'll be in his 30" sailboat.
This will be his 3rd trip across. He had a near miss last trip and is
interested in some sort of radar detection system for comforts sake. I've
been trying to talk him into a radar system but he's stubborn and set in
his ways. He hates electronic systems on his boat. Anyone have any ideas?
Know of any brands, websites, makes, models? Or just ideas that would make
his trip safer?
