The MODEL 1715 is a high contrast LCD radar designed
for pleasure craft and small fishing boats. Radar echoes
are presented in four shades of gray on the 7" Silver Bright
LCD. The Radar offers detailed pictures of coastline and
targets at short ranges thanks to narrower pulselengths
and dual IF bandwidths. The antenna rotation speed
automatically changes depending on the range selection
for optimum target detection. The compact, waterproof
display allows table top or panel mounting in the cockpit
or on the open fly bridge.

The radar has a power saving Watchman mode. In this
mode, the antenna is stopped and the transmission is off,
while the screen displays nav data only. The radar wakes
up at a specified time interval (5, 10 or 20 min) and operates
for a minute. If a target enters the Guard Zone, an audible
alarm sounds and the radar goes into its normal operating

mode, cancelling the Watchman mode. The alarm may also
be set to work for a target leaving the Zone.

Other standard features include: EBL (Electronic Bearing
Line), VRM (Variable Range Marker), TLL output (Target
L/L), Cursor L/L readout, Echo Trail, Guard Zone Alarm,
Anti Clutter Rain, Automatic control of tuning and sensitivity.
The A/C RAIN control improves the target detection
in the rain by elaborate design of the receiver.

With use of nav data inputs in NMEA 0183 format, the radar
offers additional functions. Graphical and numeric waypoint
information can be shown on the display. The Waypoint is
indicated by a lollipop mark for easy identification on the
radar display. In the TLL output function, you can output a
specified target's L/L by using the cursor to the optional
GPS navigator as a mark.
