I think I understand what a radar deflector does - it sends out a radar signal so that other boats "see" me better.

How does it work, exactly? Does it distort the signal so that the oncoming boat see me as bigger than I really am? Do I program it so that it sends out a signal with my length, width, and height?

Just wondering, as I've seen a couple of posts where people are talking about them.
 
No! It ia a RE-flector. It magnifies whatever radar beam hits it and returns a larger "target" than you actually are. There is NO power to a reflector!
 
A lot of sailboats have them on their masts...so they can be picked up by radar.

I think that's what we are talking about...
 
Come on guys. He wanted a "deflector" not a reflector! My EE buddy at MIT has devleoped one. As a matter of fact, here he is in his lab testing it. I have them in stock now for 49.95 and I'll pay this shipping!

I'll see if I can get the USAF to lend him a F-117, that is a radar deflector.
 
Jim P., you are now supposed to be retired from the USAF. Don't you be going back there!
 
Actually, it doesn't magnify anything. It just provides a strong reflective surface for the radar.
 
That EE at MIT stole his design from the guy who wears his deflector every night when he observes sunset in Key West. It also keeps Martians from reading your thoughts (he told me so).
 
Anything that costs less than $50 for my boat is a real bargain. I'll take two!
 
kite string and 4 tin pie plates works as well. give the radar something to bounce off of. only $19.95 todays special.[:-paperbag] maybe even old cd's keps the birds away too.[}:)]
 
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Mon, dat rell be smokin!
 
Bob, just coat yourself in Jell-O and stand while operating the boat. The albedo properties of the Jell-O will protect you.
 
Mike I'd like to meet you one day...even if you are from Mn.! LOL

My pleasure CCnut...listen, about that screen name of yours. With a couple drinks, that name becomes a real problem from a PC standpoint, the human eye just ignores the superlative C and rearranges the consonants.
