I guess it depends on your electronics background...
In Response To: Yes, in my dyselxic typing..of course I meant the "opposite" :^)) ()
I used to repair Univac 1200 fire control computers on war ships and do radar work on the same ships. Later I spent a lot of time working on electron microscopes and electrom probe microanalysers. I also designed, built and installed automation systems for older chemical analytical systems. After that consumer marine electronics are a snap.

- Well speed and depth shouldn't be all that much...
- Hourly rates vary but I would guess about 15 hours to install the instuments, and

- Having just installed all new electronics myself...
- $5,000

- It seems to me that installing marine electronics has become very simple..
- I understand your point Nat. Care to elaborate on what mistakes get made?
- Not all systems are created equally.
