Using the radar
61
Setting up the radar display
Range control enables the radar picture to be viewed at varying scales. This is also
known as ‘zooming’ in or out. The shortest range scale gives a maximum range of
1/8 nm, measured from the center to the top of the radar picture. The longest
range scale gives a maximum range of between 24 and 72 nm, depending upon
your scanner type.
Short range scales
The short range scales provide greater detail of the radar echoes close to your
boat, and should be used as you approach coastlines, harbors or other boats in the
area.
Long range scales
The long range scales provide the best overview of your boat’s relationship to
landmasses, weather fronts, and large ship targets, in or beyond view.
Changing the displayed range
You can change the range by clicking the softkeys in the tool box.
Click this button to move the range OUT and see a larger
area
.
Click this button to move the range IN and see a smaller
area.
Marking a position on the radar screen
You can mark a position on the radar screen using a waypoint (also known as a
mark) anywhere on the radar screen.
Waypoints are placed with an ‘X’ symbol at either the cursor or boat’s position,
depending upon your selection. Waypoints are stored with their latitude,
longitude and symbol; and this information is retained when the radar is turned
off.
Note:
Radar waypoints are not the same as chart waypoints and cannot be used in plot-
ting routes, nor can they be transferred to other screens within H6.
