In our PH we have a Simrad GB40 blackbox system. This eventually evolved to the now supported NSO.
We have had problems since day one with it. Random restarts out of the blue, and frequent freezing. Sometimes it wont even start up. It has a BR-24 Broadband radar hooked to it too. Its going to be replaced in the future, the dilemma is get another Simrad to use with the radar or take it all out and put a Furuno MFDBB with a 25kw open array. Again this is the future, not now.
The only thing I've liked about the Simrad is the 15" display.
