Furuno Offers

Two New Sonars-

Literature Available

Furuno has announced the avail- ability of two new high-perform- ance sonars for commercial and sport fishermen. Both units offer an exceptionally wide range of standard features, such as auto- matic target tracking, 1-kw out- put power, choice of 60 or 150- kHz operating frequency, a com- pact and rugged hull unit and sound dome with 0 to 90-degree tilt, automatic or manual train, and adjustable sector scan.

The Model FH-107 has an ultra- compact display unit featuring a 7-inch CRT (integral magnifier presents 12-inch equivalent pic- ture) and six selectable ranges out to 2,600 feet. Available as an option is Furuno's SI-105A sonar range indicator, which provides direct digital readout slant or horizontal range and target depth.

The Furuno FH-106, with its high-persistence, 10-inch CRT, of- fers a much broader range of standard features. Six range steps to 5,200 feet are provided, each of which has a variable "fine tuning" zoom capability within the range selected. A built-in dig- ital display shows tilt angle plus

VRM for maximum screen range, slant range to target, or horizon- tal distance to target.

The key operating feature of the FH-106 is the memory dis- play. An IC memory stores target echoes after one transmission pulse, then repeats them while the sweep smoothly continues ro- tating. This feature provides an exceptionally clear "radar-like" picture not available in other step-by-step searchlight sonars.

In addition, visibility in long- range detection is increased dra- matically due to the steady, non- fading echoes.

Both sonars may be supplied in 12-, 24-, or 32-volt dc versions (ac operation with optional rec- tifier) , and are now in stock for immediate delivery.

LAKE & RIVER TRUE OR FALSE?

Obviously an exaggeration today but very true when this ad appeared in 1958 during our 90th year of building steam engines.

With increasing shortages and rising prices of petroleum fuel, a growing number of shipowners are considering the practicality of returning to readily available coal...and that means steam engines by Skinner!
