Performance Monitor

A performance monitor is required for a radar installed on vessels of 300 GT and

The performance monitor is incorporated in the antenna unit. When the
performance monitor is active, the indication "PM" appears (in yellow) in the alert
box.
Note: The performance monitor is disabled when the Interswitch is active. See
