What's your favorite platform interface?

I like the 688 the best, its simple and straightforward , but alot about the FFG sonar is good too. The way it displays all possible sonar matches in a drop down list instead of a inefficient scroll, and the bearing ambuiguity buttons make it easy than merging and dropping contacts in the TMA. Its TA depth display is nice two, though I hate the "beam" divisions on the TA.

That FFG TMA is a nightmare though.

The SW's interface is too inefficient. The worst offender the DEMON display, with Inc TPK, Dec TPK, Array select, and Frequency select could all be fitted on one menu, but instead of divided up with more clickyness amongst 4 different menus.

No signal history for the Akula's BB is a disadvantage and its narrowband is harder to distinguish between two seperate tracts on the same bearing. With the LA NB one can look at the subtle strength increases and decreases between the frequency lines to discern with frequencies belong together, with the Akula's NB its impossible to do so.)
