blanking occurs on the main radar image and radar overlay on a
chart. An enabled sector is shown as a magenta outline with 3 arcs
crossing the blanking area. To specify radar sector blanking, refer to
the Halo Radar Installation Manual.

Adjusting the radar image
You may be able to improve the radar image by adjusting the radar
sensitivity, and by filtering out the random echoes from sea and
weather conditions.
You can also adjust the image settings from the radar menu.
Radar use modes
(Halo Radar only)
Radar modes are available with default optimal control settings for
different environments. The following modes are available:
• Custom - In this mode all radar controls can be adjusted and will
be retained after a mode change or radar power cycle. Radar
defaults are set for general purpose use.
• Harbor - In this mode the radar settings are optimized for areas
such as busy waterways and large man-made structures where
good target discrimination and rapid image updates are needed.
• Offshore - In this mode the radar settings are optimized for
offshore sea conditions and making isolated targets larger and
easy to see.
• Weather - In this mode the radar settings are optimized for best
detection and presentation of rain clutter. Image update rate is
slowed and color depth is increased.
