i did have a tube type radar reflector but it didn't last long and i have since read that actual they are not very effective.
Does everyone have a radar refelctor on their rib? If so which do they recommend, the mini Tri Lens type look very compact and easy to fix, are they an effective type?
i am mainly south coast and not far from the coast so do i need to bother? I am likley to get another of one type or another as i like to be on the safe side but am interrested in other views
Clearly much better than plastic tubes which I reckon give off less than your boat and A frame. If you need a strong reflector then these are OK now they have replaced plastic caps with metal screw tops. Also SeaMe active ones are good for sending out a signal but requires power
The trilense type are good, but if you want a really great performing reflector then Echomax is the way forward. They also do an active X and X/S band reflector:
