Modes in dual ranges
(Halo Radar only)
Modes can be set independently for each range. For example, you
can have Offshore mode for range A and Weather mode for range B.
However, interaction between ranges occurs in some cases:
• When using Bird mode for both ranges, maximum range is
restricted to 24 NM and range resolution is reduced.
• Fast scan - The antenna rotation speed is set to the slower of the
two modes selected. For example, Fast Scan is disabled when
using Harbor and Weather modes because Fast Scan is Off in
Weather mode.
• The Interference reject setting can affect the interference seen or
removed on both ranges.
