Fast scan (Broadband Radar™ only)
Increases the speed of the radar scanner when the range is set to 2 nm
or less. This option gives faster updates on target movements within this
range.
STC curve (Broadband Radar™ only)
The STC (Sensitivity Time Control) controls the sensitivity of the radar
signal close to your vessel. The STC curve option has 3 settings. Your
selection should be based on the current sea conditions.
Radar overlay
You can overlay the Radar image on the Chart. This can help you to easily interpret the

When the radar overlay is selected, basic radar operational functions are available from
the Chart page’s context menu.
More information on Radar Overlay is available in the Chart section of this manual.
