    The RADAR is a compact marine radar that delivers a peak antenna power output of either 4 kW (MDC-1041/1040), 6 kW (MDC-1060) or 12 kW (MDC-1010) and has a 10.4-inch color 640 x 480 liquid crystal display. It uses a microcomputer and a video signal processing LSI chip specifically designed for radars to deliver high performance and a wide range of features.
