Optimized for safety under difficult conditions

The radar function ensures a safer and more relaxed voyage. Easy operation and advanced features will assist your navigation and look-out, especially in bad weather and at night. The Dual Range function can give a detailed close range radar image with the long range overview alongside. With the double speed antennas it's like having two radars in one. In poor visibility you really get the full picture.

High speed update

Especially for fast moving vessels the selectable double update rate is a real safety benefit. The 4 kW and above antennas can operate with 24 or 48 revolutions per minute (rpm).

Improved target definition

The latest and most advanced low-noise receiver technology ensures increased target definition, the ability to separate objects. This will increase your chances spotting even the smallest dinghy and thereby improve safety at sea.

Continuous range

The scale can be set to any value with the multi range function or in fixed steps from 1/8 NM to 72 NM, or 64/48/36/24 NM depending on choice of antenna.

Guard zone

The radar can be set up to sound an alarm when a vessel enters or leaves a specific area. This guard zone can be set anywhere in relation to the vessel or fixed to the location in true motion mode.

Target trails

Moving vessels as radar targets are easily separated from fixed objects and land using the trail feature in true motion mode.
