I think that some of the implied criticism of Solent is getting slightly out of hand here. What I posted was intended as a learning point, not a criticism of anybody (save possbly myself).
Incidentally, as a long term user of Solent Radar, my experience is almost universally positive (I even wrote the SATCO a letter of thanks once). I know some people have had problems with them, but that's been very rarely my experience.
