Dual Radar - Simrad NSO Operation Manual

Dual Radar

With dual radar capability, it is possible for two radar sources to be displayed
simultaneously. Connect either two Broadband Radars or two Pulse Radars or one of
each and see both radar images at the same time.
Interference will be seen on the Broadband Radar on most ranges when a pulse radar
and a Broadband Radar are transmitting at the same time on the same boat. It is
Navico's recommendation to only transmit on one radar at a time e.g. Broadband Radar

a distance and to trigger Racons.
Initial setup:
1. Power up the system including both radars.
2. On any display, the first radar detected by the display will be used as the source
The radar source is identified by radar type with a four-digit number and is displayed in
the top left corner of chart and radar panels.
The four-digit number is the last four digits of the radars serial number.
3. For a radar panel, the radar source can be changed in the menu as shown below:
36 | Using radar
for all chart and radar panels. This source will be used by default for every system
power-up thereafter, until changed.
