GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the Raytheon Model 1200 Mariners Pathfinder Radar for
your radar navigation needs.
Whether you purchased this radar because of its compactness or power economy,
ease of installation, or long term reliability, one thing is certain; the moment you turn on
your 1200 you'll know you're seeing a revolutionary new concept in radar technology
at work.
Radar signals are "stored" on a 9-inch diagonal TV-type picture with chart like
clarity and detail. A single glance at your Model 1200 Display will give you a complete and
accurate 360
0
radar picture of other vessels, bouys and land fall surrounding your vessel.
A unique feature even allows you to "freeze" the picture for high accuracy bearing
and range measurements.
With "one touch" range selection, recessable controls, and "Interference Rejection",
(a feature found only on bigger-radar systems) it should become apparent that human
engineering and operational simplicity have been considered foremost in the 1200's design.
We trust that you will enjoy many years of excellent performance, reliability, and
smooth sailing with your new 1200 Radar.
