B&G's HALO20+ Pulse Compression Radar uses innovative VelocityTrack Doppler technology to instantly identify hazards at short and long range. Thanks to its unbeatable rotation of up to 60 rpm, the 20" radar antenna offers a near real-time view and gives you the ultimate in collision avoidance.

The ultimate view for collision avoidance
Thanks to its maximum rotational speed of up to 60 rpm, the HALO20 radar antenna delivers a full 360° scan every second. Thanks to these near real-time updates, you get the ultimate view and can quickly and proactively avoid potential collisions. In addition, the Halo Radar provides crystal clear images that make navigation easier even in poor visibility and densely populated waterways.

VelocityTrack ™ Doppler technology integrated
Improve situational awareness and reduce the risk of collision thanks to VelocityTrack Doppler technology! The technology gives you immediate visual feedback on whether targets are approaching or moving away. You no longer need to select individual targets manually. The Doppler effect immediately checks every target detected by your radar automatically. Potential dangers are accordingly marked in colour.

Absolutely satisfied, good quality and easy assembly....
Already in use... the assembly turned out to be a bit more difficult than expected, it took 8 hours. Cables are very stiff and difficult to lay (but well protected). I had the adapter for the radar antenna made. The template that came with it helped a lot.
Can highly recommend this set...
