Now even the largest vessels can have Furuno performance and reliability.

These great new Furuno radars are available as the FAR-2800 Series, an IMO-compliant ARPA system with automatic tracking of up to 40 targets, auto and manual acquisition and trial maneuver capability, or as the

FR-2800 Series, a True Motion/Relative Motion system with electronic plotting of up to 10 targets.

And the entire 2800 Series can be supplied in 25 or 50 kW X-band versions, or 30 or 60 kW S-band versions with a variety of antenna lengths, transceivers mounted up or down, and electronic interswitching for dual installations.

Exceptional target detection is assured with the 2800's by a combination of Furuno's exclusive low noise microwave integrated circuit receiver, matched pulse lengths and repetition rates, echo averaging and stretch, with full 15-level signal quantization. This performance package assures detection of even the weakest targets in the worst conditions of clutter.

TECHNOLOGY

These Furuno radars have superb 28" raster scan dis- plays with 1024 x 1024 pixel resolution for radar images that are crisp, bright and easy to view day or night.

The FR-2800's provide such features as elec- tronic plotting with 10 different symbols, electronic parallel index lines, dual

VRM's and EBL's, guard zone with alarm, and easy assessment of target course and speed by simulated afterglow or by vector. The FAR Series pro- vides auto acquisition of another 20 targets plus manual acquisition of all 40 targets. Also traffic lanes, buoys, dangerous points and other impor- tant navigation elements can be displayed.

On-screen data readouts include range, bearing, course, speed, CPA, TCPA,

BCR (bow crossing range), and BCT for up to 3 selected targets, as well as own ship course and speed.
