Target Alarm

The target alarm serves to alert the navigator to targets (ships, landmasses, etc.)
entering a specific area, with audiovisual alarms.
The target alarm zone has a fixed width of 0.5 nm in the radial direction (depth)
and is adjustable from 3.0 to 6.0 nm (guard zone 1) and any distance (guard
zone 2). On the Non-IMO radar the boundaries can be set at any distance. On
any radar type the sector of the zone can be set from 0 to 360 degrees in any
direction.
