Not sure what model, will have to look when I get home, but I am pretty sure that the radar (as well as me) has no brilliance adjustment.
I might just leave it on for now as I don't have that much free time. Not sure when I will even get out on the boat again (if I even can again this season)...unless I can get an extra day off from work sometime. I need to catch a striper, a BIG striper...we'll see. Traveling to NJ this weekend for work...

If you get time and start fishing more areas put there you will want it at times!
The Vineyard is not to bad, but I have been there when I could not see the bow of the boat!! Chatam is were you will need it, there are times that the fog never leaves all day! I just got mine end of last season and did not use more the 2 times this year so I have a lot to learn!

I've heard of some folks using radar to find concentrations of birds swarming above hungry stripers but that may just be some of the higher end units, I don't know. That would be cool.

Other than fog of course one of the best applications I saw radar used was that Tuna trip I went on with a friend of mine....of course in a 20' boat you wont be out 40 miles but we were out there and could here a handful of boats catching tuna on the VHF...my friend called out on the VHF to see if anybody would be so kind to give us a heads up to where they were ( it was a Monday so we thought we had a chance of somebody calling us in) and got nothing but crickets on the other end.....the other guy on our boat said "turn on your radar dumb ***"....bam...they they are!
