Installation Installation guidelines The information provided by radar is of vital importance to skippers and the safe navigation of ships. Special care should be taken to ensure correct installation of the radar, in order to ensure the performance of the radar system is not compromised. Interference, either by reflecting structures or other RF transmitters, may significantly impair radar performance by creating blind sectors, clutter on the radar display or generation of false targets.
