7. RADAR 7.27.2 Search and rescue transponder (SART) A ship in distress uses a radar-SART to show a series of dots on the radar display of nearby ships to indicate distress. A SART transmits when it receives a radar pulse from any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 nm.
7. RADAR 7.28 ARPA Operation The ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) shows the movement of a maximum of 30 radar targets. The targets can be acquired manually or automatically. All 30 targets can be acquired manually when the ARPA acquisition area is not active. If the ARPA acquisition area is active, that total is equally divided between manual and auto acqui- sition.

8. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) [Transmit Rate Manual]: Change the TX pulse repetition rate in 21 levels (21 is high- est power.). Use 20 in normal use. Lower the TX rate in shallow waters to prevent the second reflection echo. [Sounder Transmit]: Turn on or off the sounder transmission. Sounder initial setup [Zero Line Rejection]: Turn the zero line (transmission line) on or off.
Page 227
8. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) [External KP]: Turn on to sync with external keying pulse. (For external sounder) [Bottom Level HF (LF)]: The default bottom level setting (0) determines that two strong echoes received in sequence are bottom echoes. If the depth indication is not stable in the default setting, adjust the bottom level here.
8. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 8.17 Interpreting the Display Zero line The zero line (transmission line) shows the position of the transducer. The line disap- pears from the screen when the range is shifted. Zero line Range shifted Bottom echoes The strongest echoes are from the bottom, and are normally shown in reddish-brown or red.
Page 229
8. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) Nature of a bottom The nature of a bottom is known from the intensity and length of the bottom tail. To find the nature of a bottom, use a long pulse length and normal gain. For the hard and rough bottom, the bottom echo is reddish-brown with a long tail.
