Overview
HALO20 radar is a cost-effective solution for boaters to increase situational awareness and collision avoidance, detecting collision hazards and other targets nearby and up to 24 nautical miles away. With its small footprint and low profile, HALO20 is the perfect radar solution for more budget-conscious buyers with smaller sportfishing vessels and dayboats. With its small footprint and low profile, HALO20 is the perfect radar solution for more budget-conscious buyers with smaller sportfishing vessels and dayboats. HALO20 radar also delivers a comprehensive range of features to enhance your situational awareness and on-water safety. Boaters can monitor selected collision hazards with MARPA target tracking, tracking up to 10 targets. Whether navigating through crowded waterways or contending with poor visibility, HALO20 radar cuts through the clutter to give boaters a clear and current picture of their surroundings.
