(Option for NM-type radar)

General

The Video Plotter RP-26 is an optional circuit board which is accommodated in the display
unit of the radar. It permits use of two memory cards, a memory card (RAM) for storing the
operator created radar maps, and the other is a chart card (ROM) for storing FURUNO
made digital charts.
The memory card enables the operator to create radar maps more precisely than the
standard supplied radar map card (150 points per map). Navigation lines can have as
many segments and vertexes as required (maximum 25 lines and 30 vertexes per line).
The card permanently retains the data you have entered from the radar display or by Lat/
Long positions. Own ship and other ship tracks may be stored at a selected interval. To
display navigation lines, RTE and WPL sentences are necessary. WPL ID sentence re-
ceived in figure only. The data can be copied for other ships of the same shipping com-
pany.
Charts are superimposed on the radar picture without disturbing the radar observation.
The chart area is dependent on the radar range in use.
Note: RP-26 is not available with the statute mile (SM)-type radar.
