Hi


I'm getting closer to needing radio gear for my Fairmount Sherpa tug and there is so much choice its confusing.
I don't need an expensive bit of kit but then I don't want the cheapest either.
I recon on an 8 channel set up as I never know what I'll add in the future currently it'll be for forward/aft/left/right/bow thruster/radar/lighting deck and nav.
What would you recommend?


Thanks in advance.

Hi


I think you’ve hit the nail on the head as the choice is endless. Buy what you can afford is probably the best advice and you don’t need the latest gear either.


On my Fairmount Alpine I had channels for the following.


1.  Rudder
2.  Forwards and backwards
3.  Bow thruster
4.  Deck lighting
5.  Pump for the fire monitors
6.  Steer for the fire monitors


That’s pretty much all I could fit into the hull


Cheers Mark
