Radar Modes - Raymarine a65 Operation Instructions Manual

16.18 Radar modes

Radar modes enable you to quickly select
pre-configured settings to achieve the best picture
for different situations. Raymarine recommends the
use of these modes to achieve optimum results.
The Radar Mode can be selected from the Radar
application's main menu.
Radar modes are available when using HD
Radomes, HD Open Arrays and SuperHD Open
Arrays.
The modes available are as follows:
• Buoy — a special mode that enhances the
detection of small objects like mooring buoys. It is
useful at ranges up to 0.75 nm.
• Harbor — this is the default mode. This setting
takes account of land clutter so that smaller
targets, like navigation buoys, are not lost.
• Coastal — accounts for the slightly higher levels
of sea clutter you might encounter out of harbor
and adjusts the radar display accordingly.
• Offshore — automatically adjusts for high levels
of sea clutter.
• (1) Bird Mode — a special mode that helps you
to identify flocks of birds, useful when identifying
suitable fishing locations, for example.
Note:
– (1) Requires a HD Radome or a SuperHD
open Array with software version 3.23 or
above.
Note: For Non-HD Digital Radomes refer to
Auto Sea Mode settings.
