Display of Radar Transponder

SART (Search and Radar Transponder) is life preserving device approved by GMDSS which is used for
locating survivors in the event of a disaster or distress. SART operates in the 9GHz frequency band. When
it receives a radar signal (interrogating radio wave) of 9GHz transmitted by a rescue ship or aircraft radar,
SART transmits a series of respouse signals to the searchers to indicate the distress position.
In order to see the SART or radar beacon mark on the radar screen.

ship will not appear on the radar screen, so perform thorough visual monitoring of the sea
area around the own ship to avoid any collision or stranding.
Further, when more than one radar systems are mounted, while using a 9GHz band radar
for searching SART signals, be sure to use another radar as an ordinary radar to perform
monitoring of objects around the own ship to avoid any collision, check of the position of the
own ship to avoid any stranding, and so on.
Need to return the set for normal operation on completeion.
