Jerry,

I purchased the 20 XX.  The installation was quire simple and straight
forword.  The techical staff when questioned were easy to get to and
answered all my questions.  I could have bought the 10 XX for the same
price.  They both have the same screen.  The 20 is a 4KW unit with a closed
aray and the 10 is a 2KW unit with an open aray.  The open aray provides a
better definition of the targets while more power allows you to see better
in fog. This my first Radar unit, although I have used several units on
friends boats and charters.  I found the target definition very good and the
unit easy to operate.  I took a one night Radar class from USPS.  The fellow
giving the class has a 10 X and was very pleased with his unit.  He had no
problem seeing through the fog.
