Hey look, there's other stuff going on outside of the merger! Such as the unveiling of the Raymarine SR50 Sirius Satellite Weather/Audio receiver.
Sirius' Satellite Weather service was introduced last year on the Raymarine SR100 for their line of E-Series displays. Well now the Raymarine SR50 let's C-Series owners access their own slew of advanced weather information.
The SR50 allows boaters to view forecast info like WSI NOWRad weather radar, storm tracks, sea surface temperature, wind, surface pressure, wave heights, lightning and more.
All that and you can also tune into over Sirius Satellite Radio directly from your C-Series display, so you can rock out to The Catholic Channel while tracking lightning strikes.
The SR50 weather receiver module should be available in March 2007.

And as a bonus feature, after the merger, when dual chip sat rads are needed, it can be used as a very expensive boat anchor.

Lowrance Electronics will introduce similar features later this year, per Lowrance. I will have one of these to go with my Lowrance network on my boat and the LCX-38c.
Good stuff: http://www.lowrance.com/LowranceNet/LowranceNET.asp

Oh my, I can't believe it and O&A fan fired the first shot. I didn't think that EVER happened.
Now hear is the question why would it be an expensive boat anchor? Isn't it too soon to determine the outcome of our current radios? You must know something that no one else knows. I guess ZERO XM and Sirius radio will be sold until a merger decision made.
