Radar signals are "stored" ona 30-inch diagonal TV-type picture with chart ke clarity ‘and detail A single glance at your Display wil pve you a somplete and accurate 360° radar Picture of other vessels, buoys and land fll surrounding your vessel "The new 1/8 NM range seale together with the Offset mode makes navigating tight channels, rivers, or waterways at night 2 pleasure instead ofa problem, “The Zoom mode gives you a fat 2 times enlargemert ofthe radar presentation in the one you have designated. A new "Timed Tx” mode lets the radar automatically tur its transmniter “on” and "off for scans ofthe area around Jour vessel. Set the target alarm zone to alert you of any radar contacts that have entersd your zoe, including any that might have escaped your notice. ‘Dual Electronic Bearing Lin's (EBL) ch Variable Range Markers (VRMO allow rapid high accuracy target besring and range messurements. When connected toa Loan-C Navi itor with proper output dita format fr full function opeation, the radar can display your festination waypoint on the screen at its bearing and range from your vessel. The Waypoint feature provides steering reference information tothe detiation, and canbe used to help locate specific buoys of waypoint landmarks.
