6.5  DISPLAY OF RADAR TRANSPONDER 
(SART) 
 
The SART (Search and rescue Radar Transponder) is a survival device authorized by the GMDSS (Global 
Maritime Distress and Safety System), which is used for locating survivors in case that a distress accident 
occurs at sea.    The SART is designed to operate in the 9 GHz frequency band. 
When receiving the 9 GHz radar signal (interrogating signal) transmitted from the radar equipment on a rescue 
ship or search aircraft, the SART transmit a series of response signals to inform the distress position to the 
rescue and search party. 
 
 
*  This radar provides a shortcut item to make settings for SART signal reception.  Execution of this item 
automatically switches to the setting for SART reception.
