   Yes I am still in Trowbridge, unfortunately the boats I want to look at   
   aren't.  :)   
      
      
   Having now looked at some, they all seem to have single digital outputs,   
   which is disappointing - a simple graphical display of reflections vs   
   time would be much more useful.
