Radar is one of the most versatile systems of all of the marine electronics on your boat. Most only know how to use about 10% of the capabilities of their marine radar. The manuals that come with a radar system tell you what the buttons do, but not how to confidently use radar for both collision avoidance and navigation. In addition to learning the basics of radar operation participants will also learn: How to use your marine radar system while underway, Basic radar tuning and how to set up your system, How to interpret the screen display and how to correlate it to navigational charts, the surrounding area, and other vessels around you. With this course you will have a new appreciation and competency with the radar system on your boat.

Modern navigation electronics have amazing capabilities, but once integrated with other equipment, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Captain Monahan explains the basics of modern radar equipment, how radar works with other navigation sensors and the advantages and disadvantages of integration.
