ure displays to use radar
Setup and configuration of the Broadband radar has been simplified compared to traditional
pulse radars. There is no zero range (time delay), no warm up time, and no burn in required..
The only adjustments needed are:
• Set the scanner height: This is to help the radar calculate for sea clutter.
• Adjust the heading marker. This is to align with the heading marker on the screen with
the center line of the vessel, this will compensate for any slight misalignment of the
scanner during installation. Any inaccuracy will be evident when using MARPA or chart
overlay.
Lowrance HDS radar setup

To set the antenna height:
