Fair point as regards power supply's on a sailboat. This explains another question: > Not sure what you mean by screen brightness, if the Mac is being powered externally from whatever source, full brightness is available. < In my experience light in the saloon of a sail boat is not at all bright. Design I suppose. Very different indeed on a motor boat, windows all around. When just left on battery power, I could barely view the screen on my MacBook. Considerable improvement when powered by an inverter. And no, not the slightest problems with the VHF radio. Why obtain one from a marine supplier? I purchased mine from Maplins, a most reputable UK High Street electronic dealer.
