Automatic Acquisition

New mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) automatic acquisition allows for triggering and tracking of up to 30 targets with no user prompting on all returns, boundary zones, guard zones, or MotionScope.

Motionscope Technology

MotionScope uses the Doppler effect to detect moving targets and highlight them in different colors so users can navigate around other boats or severe weather or toward fishing spots where birds feed at the surface.

Clear the Way

Scan-to-scan averaging aids in the reduction of sea clutter and interference, so users have a clear view of whats out there.

Auto Bird Gain

Locate flocks of birds at the waters surface where baitfish are also likely to be found

Pulse Compression

This feature provides high-resolution imaging while maximizing energy to enhance target detection and identification.

Echo Trails

A historical trail is left on the screen to help users quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats.

Radar Overlay

Overlay radar images onto a chart plotters map page. Users can add an optional autopilot or heading sensor (sold separately) for best results.

Dynamic Sea Filter

Dynamic Sea Filter automatically adjusts gain to calm, medium, and rough sea conditions.

Guard Zone

Set the safety zone, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.
