I intend to install radar on my 32-3, and I'm leaning towards installing the radome on the backstay, with a self-leveling support from Scanstrut. I wonder if there are compelling reasons to instead install it on the mast, or on a separate pole at the stern? Of course, a mast-mounted radome can have a longer horizon, but I wonder if that longer view is worth the trade-off of losing closer targets which are below the radar vertical beam width?
I have a B&G HALO 20 radome with a rated range of 24 NM.
What pros and cons should I consider in deciding whether to have the radome on the backstay, on the main mast, or on a separate pole at the transom?
