Radar technology takes a major step forward with the introduction of the Simrad RA40, RA41 and RA42 Color TFT Radars. For the first time a helmsman can select to view a wide screen presentation of a dual range mode, which will enable him to see his immediate area while simultaneously keeping a watchful eye on what is approaching in the distance. This is a major contribution towards the safety of vessels at sea, especially for vessels that do not have two radars fitted.The new generation of Simrad Radars can now include an Automatic Tracking Aid (ATA) which tracks up to 10 targets designated by the user. Once locked-on, the Radar will automatically provide a menu of data which includes speed, bearing, course and closest point of approach on all targets selected. A built-in alarm system warns of possible collision or lost target, making watch-keeping easier and safer.The Simrad RA40 is supplied with a compact radome antenna, measuring 18 inches across. The 2kW output gives the RA40 a range of 24NM. This combination is ideally suited for the smaller vessel.
