Simrad BR24 Radar Detector User Manual


 
Additional benefits of FMCW radar are:
Safety:
low energy emissions. 1/10th of a mobile phone
safe operation in anchorages and marinas
instant power up. No warm up required
Short range performance -
broadband radar can see within a few meters of the boat, compared to pulse radars which
can not see closer than 30 meters
higher resolution clearly separates individual vessels and objects
Up to five times better sea and rain clutter performance
Low power -
suitable for small boats and yachts
easier installation with lighter cabling
great for yachts on ocean passage
Instant power-up -
conventional radars take 2-3 minutes to heat up the filament: Safety – 2 minutes is a
long time if you are concerned about collision; and
convenience – switch it on and use it.
Easy to use
no constant adjusting required to obtain optimum performance
no re-tuning between ranges. Means fast range change at all ranges.
