    Harbor Mode Harbor mode is the standard radar operation for use in inland waters, with a GMR 604 xHD, 606 xHD, 1204 xHD, or 1206 xHD radar. Harbor mode works best with short-range radar signals (2 nm or less). Note: If you switch from Sentry mode to Harbor mode, the radar switches to full-time transmission and disables any guard zones.

    Dual Range Mode Dual Range mode provides a side-by-side view of both short-range and long-range radar data, with a GMR 604 xHD, 606 xHD, 1204 xHD, or 1206 xHD radar. The two radar views provided in this mode can be especially useful at night or in inclement weather. Short-range radar data appears on the left side of the dual-range screen, and the signal range cannot exceed 3 nm (4 km).

  • Page 91 About the Range of Radar Signals The range of the radar signal indicates the length of the pulsed signal transmitted and received by the radar. As the range increases, the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach distant targets. Closer targets, especially rain and waves, also reflect the longer pulses, which can add noise to the Radar screen.
