Radar Settings
Your display may be configured to operate with one of six transceivers
(labelled A to F) located at different positions on the ship. Each transceiver
may be either an X-Band or S-Band.
The display can be a master display or a slave display. Master displays
have full control over a transceiver; therefore only one display can be set
as the master of a transceiver at any one time. Also, a display can only be
connected to one transceiver at a time.
The Transceiver (TX/RX) field at bottom left of
the screen shows the following transceiver
information:
 label (A to F)
 transceiver type (X or S)
 display status (Master or Slave)
To view and set the transceiver options left click
on the Transceiver field. If an Interswitch is fitted
the menu displays a list of available transceivers
for your display.
For more information on transceiver settings, see
Interswitch in Chapter 11 `Radar’
.
Dual Radar Interswitch Settings
On a dual radar system with an Interswitch fitted,
any transceivers that are available for Channel 1
and Channel 2 may be selected.
The selection of transceivers is independent
between channels.
