Hi Guys,

Just recently come back from a holiday in Asia and went looking at some boating electronics. Wasnt intending too, but was introduced by a family member as we discussed fishing and the likes.

Anyway, the next day went to catch up with them and they were still behind in times with the current model being a 627 and 585. However those were out of stock and he brought out a Furuno FCV-288.

From what i gathered, these are the Asia version of the 295. with exception of the bonded screen and the ability to run any frequency between 38 -200. this model is stuck on 50 and 200.

i have attached the specs, can any of you furuno gurus see if i am missing anything else between the 295.

this cost me about 2200 + tax which includes a 1kw 50hz tranny, and you can add a 200hz for quite cheap as well.

are the above difference a deal breaker for this?
