Lowrance 3g radar-anyone have one?

[Bobbys Toy]

I bought a new for me boat that has an Lowrance hds5 combo unit and I am considering adding a 3g radar unit. Does anyone have any experience with this unit?

In my opinion garbage.

Works great in the dark or on clear days, best radar there is for this purpose.

Absolutely worthless in heavy fog or rain. It just does not have to power to push throug the obstruction. What is the point of having a radar that doesn't work in the rain?

Now I haven't tried the 4g but after what they put out with their original broadband radar I'm skeptical.

If you want to add radar to a lowrance in my opinion there is only one option, that is the LRA-2400. I like this one because it is 4kw the 2.2kw unless your buying furuno isn't really enough power.
