G'Day Mike,

Is there such a thing as an active radar transponder that can pick up the
radar signal, and then actively generate one in return? My recollection (a
decade out of date by now) of high speed semiconductor switching times is that
it would be just barely possible. If so would they be a practical device for a
kayak?

Cheers, Peter
