The target boost control increases pulse length or reduces radar
bandwidth to make targets appear larger in range and increase
radar sensitivity.
Radar view options
View menu options vary depending on your radar antenna.
VelocityTrack
This option is available for radar antennas that have Doppler
coloring functionality.
This is an unlock feature, refer to "Feature unlock" on page 20.

Note: When VelocityTrack is enabled antenna rotation speed
may be reduced.
Doppler coloring is a navigation aid to distinguish moving targets
approaching or diverging from your vessel. The radar indicates if a
target is approaching or diverging from your vessel when both
these conditions are true:
• The target's relative speed is greater than the VelocityTrack speed
threshold.
• The target is not geo-stationary (e.g. land or a marker buoy).
The following options are available:
• Off - turns off Doppler coloring
• Normal - approaching targets and diverging targets are colored.
• Approaching targets - only approaching targets are colored
The color of approaching and diverging targets depends on the
palette used:
Radar image palettes
• Diverging targets are blue colored on all radar image palettes.
• Approaching target colors on radar image palettes:
-
Black/Red palette - Yellow
- White/Red palette - Yellow
- Black/Green palette - Red
- Black/Yellow palette - Red
Radar overlay palettes on charts
• Diverging targets are dark grey.
