Where does CODAR get the HF radar components it uses for SeaSonde manufacture?
There are no vendors of HF radar components, because HF radars are only used for the small field of ocean surface mapping. CODAR staff over a period of 30 years have designed and developed all of the components used in SeaSonde manufacture. These are unique, having no commonality with microwave radar components. Our technology has been proven by years experience, and failure is rare. Because we manufacture all our hardware (as well as developing all SeaSonde software), “the buck stops here” because it s all done here. We will fix it if it s broken, rather than passing you on to or blaming a third party.
