The display console data window remains visible at the right of the screen unless you temporarily delete it, making the entire screen area available for pictorial radar and chart information. Use of the radar overlay mode requires careful attention to the relative alignment of the chart and the radar's lubber line. You may also have to adjust the transmission trigger setting when you enter this mode. Your satisfaction with the radar overlay mode will largely depend on the accuracy and stability of the heading information the remote sensor supplies. Dragging any window's boundary with the mouse or track ball will alter the relative size of the radar and chart windows.
Installation is unusually easy.
The radome is small, slightly more than a foot in diameter and 8 inches high. It weighs 10 lb. The cable that connects the scanner to the remainder of the system is unusually small in diameter and quite flexible. The cable is a benefit of processing all radar information within the radome, with data transfer to and from the associated PC via an RS 422 digital data bus. The cable from the radome connects to a small interface box that connects to the computer.
