Very interested to see it exists and is legal (at least in the US). Also to see the performance specs. The warnings by yourself and others regarding power boaters who don't have radar, and those who do but don't use it, are very apt so I'll probably not buy the enhanced radar reflector but the ancient engineer in me was intrigued to know that it existed and also to hear of the coded response techniques raised by Peter and Craig. I already use lights at night and during the day sometimes tie a red flag to my kayak sailing mast so when crossing a channel I will quite often raise the mast with the flag. What really appeals though is one of those compressed air horns - I'd probably become a real kayak hoon if I had one of those! All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
