When you choose a radar system for your work- boat or fishing vessel, look to JRC not only for super bright displays and excellent target resolution, but also for the best combinations of primary and secondary radars.

The new 105' tractor tug Millennium Star selected a pair of JRC lOkW 3811 mid-range radars that offer twice the resolution as other 12-inch radars.

For color radar, choose the long-range JRC 3900 series with 15-inch display. Or the magnificent 7700 series with 21-inch display. Both are full-fea- tured, with optional full ARPA and plotter modes.

The economical 10-inch 2250 series gives you brilliant, high resolution target discrimination, automatic tuning and true motion display. r CRANKSHAFT ^
