Smooth Echo Rng

Selects echo smoothing level in range

PROCESS

 

direction. The higher the number, the higher

 

 

the smoothing effect. The setting range is

 

 

from 0 to 3.

 

 

 

 

Smooth Echo Cir

Selects echo smoothing level in circular

 

 

direction. The higher the number, the higher

 

 

the smoothing effect. The setting range is 0 to

 

 

3.

 

 

 

 

Delete Color

You can delete undesired echoes and noise in

 

 

certain colors from the display. This is useful

 

 

for eliminating noise and detecting large fish

 

 

schools. The setting range is 0 to 10. If you

 

 

want to delete echoes displayed in colors

 

 

weaker than the 5th weakest color, for

 

 

example, set to 4.

 

 

 

FAR TVG

Far TVG Curve

Selects suitable FAR TVG curve to

 

 

compensate for propagation loss of sound at

 

 

100 m or farther. 30log is the normal setting.

 

 

25log: Suitable for searching small bottom

 

 

fish in shallow water or near coastline.

 

 

 

TM DSP

TM Display Range

Selects a display range in the ture motion

 

 

display, from 1.3R or 1.6R.

 

 

Note: To enable KP synchoronization, open

 

 

sub panel 2, choose TVG•TX and

 

 

TRANSMIT and then set CYCLE to "0".

 

 

 

TARGET LOCK

Tracking Method

This option determines what item to track in

 

 

target lock; target lock mark or fish echo or

 

 

Auto.

 

 

 

 

Fish Speed Limit

Sets limit speed (kt) for tracking of fish.

 

 

When speed of fish exceeds limit set here

 

 

target lock is cancelled.

 

 

 

 

Tracking Factor

Determines which fish to track, by relative

 

 

echo strength, when multiple fish schools

 

 

appear in the tracking window. 10 is the

 

 

normal setting.

 

 

 

 

Fish Track Window

Selects range (1 to 10 m) out of tracking

 

 

window. When fish tracks out of this window

 

 

the equipment judges the target is moving and

 

 

traces its track.

MODEL CSH-73 specifications

The Furuno MODEL CSH-73 is a cutting-edge marine radar that embodies innovative technology and exceptional performance, designed specifically for commercial vessels and professional mariners. This model represents a significant advancement in radar capabilities, enhancing both navigational safety and operational efficiency.

One of the standout features of the CSH-73 is its compact design paired with a high-resolution display. The radar boasts a 12.1-inch color LCD screen that provides a crisp and clear view, allowing operators to easily identify targets and navigate in challenging conditions. The intuitive user interface facilitates quick access to essential radar functions, making it user-friendly even for those who may not be experts in radar operation.

A notable technological advancement in the CSH-73 is its digital signal processing (DSP) technology, which dramatically improves target detection capabilities, especially in adverse weather conditions. This technology helps to filter out noise and clutter, enabling the radar to provide accurate readings and reliable targeting information. The advanced target tracking capabilities allow users to monitor multiple vessels simultaneously, enhancing situational awareness.

In addition to its impressive detection capabilities, the CSH-73 features an Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA), which aids in collision avoidance by tracking the course and speed of approaching vessels. This sophisticated system simplifies decision-making for the crew, promoting safer navigation.

Another key innovation is the integration of Ethernet and NMEA 2000 connectivity. This feature enables seamless integration with other onboard systems, such as chart plotters and autopilots, creating a comprehensive navigation network. This connectivity allows for real-time data sharing, which enhances the overall operational effectiveness of the vessel.

The CSH-73 is also equipped with a range of customizable settings, allowing mariners to tailor the radar display to their specific needs and preferences. Features such as adjustable gain, sea clutter, and rain clutter suppression enhance the radar's performance under various environmental conditions.

Constructed with durability in mind, the CSH-73 adheres to robust marine standards, ensuring reliable performance even in the harshest maritime environments. This resilience is crucial for commercial vessels that regularly operate in challenging conditions.

In summary, the Furuno MODEL CSH-73 stands out as a powerful tool for enhancing maritime safety and navigation. Its advanced technologies, user-friendly interface, and durable construction make it an essential component for modern vessels, providing mariners with the confidence they need to operate effectively in any navigational scenario. The CSH-73 continues to uphold Furuno's reputation for excellence in marine electronics, making it a trusted choice for professionals worldwide.
