Had a JRC 46..
...black and white, LCD display. Pretty basic unit but good for what I needed it for. The professional versions, as barneyboy mentioned, are highly regarded but it's the same with Furuno. There's a reason rec models range between a couple hundred bucks to maybe 3k, and the pro units are $15k plus.
The low-end JRC's were, and maybe still are, duplicated by a mob called Apelco.
