MIF Freeze

Turn on to send "freeze" command to

 

radio equipment connected. (Requires

 

FURUNO radio equipment.)

MIF AGC

Turn on to automatically control gain in

 

telex mode. (Requires radio equipment

 

which supports AGC command in MIF

 

format.)

MIF Emission

Turn on to automatically change mode

 

at radio equipment to telex. (Requires

 

radio equipment which supports Emis-

 

sion command in MIF format.)

TX/RX MSG Save

Turn on to automatically save incoming

 

and outgoing messages to floppy disk.

Edit Before Sending

"No" transmits keying operation one by

 

one. "Yes" transmits message only when

 

the [Enter] key is pressed after confirm-

 

ing text typed.

Time System

Select Time system. SMT is local time

 

and JST is Japan standard time.

Time & Date

Enter Date and time manually. If a navi-

 

gation device is connected, the time is

 

automatically set when the power is

 

turned on or whenever the time system

 

is switched. Manual entry takes prior-

 

ity over automatic entry. If there is no

 

the navigation data input, it takes more

 

than extra 10 seconds for automatic ini-

 

tial settings.

Display mode

Select display mode between normal and

 

reverse.

RC-1500-1T specifications

The Furuno RC-1500-1T is a highly regarded radar system designed specifically for maritime applications, providing vessel operators with robust tools for navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness. With advanced features and cutting-edge technologies, the RC-1500-1T stands out as a reliable choice for both commercial and recreational vessels.

One of the main features of the Furuno RC-1500-1T is its high-resolution display. The system boasts a crystal-clear LCD screen that offers exceptional visibility, even in bright sunlight. This makes it easier for operators to monitor the radar’s output, enhancing their ability to detect and track other vessels and obstacles in the marine environment.

Another significant characteristic of the RC-1500-1T is its power and performance. The radar operates on a frequency of 9.3 GHz, providing a range of up to 64 nautical miles, depending on environmental conditions. This impressive range ensures that mariners can detect distant targets, giving them ample time to react and make informed navigational decisions.

The RC-1500-1T also incorporates Furuno’s advanced signal processing technology. This enhances target detection and discrimination capabilities, allowing users to differentiate between multiple targets in cluttered environments, such as busy harbors or areas with a lot of smaller vessels. This technology is especially crucial for ensuring safety while navigating.

Additionally, the system comes equipped with various operational modes, including different range scales and advanced filtering options. Users can customize their radar display to highlight specific target types, improving the radar's effectiveness based on situational needs.

Safety features are a vital aspect of the Furuno RC-1500-1T. It includes an Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) function, helping operators track targets and predict their movements. This bolsters the vessel's ability to navigate safely, particularly in challenging visibility conditions.

Furthermore, the compact design of the RC-1500-1T makes it easy to install on a variety of vessels without taking up extensive space. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand harsh marine environments, making it a durable solution for long-term use.

In conclusion, the Furuno RC-1500-1T radar system combines advanced technology, user-friendly features, and high performance to provide mariners with crucial navigational information. Its capabilities cater to both experienced sailors and newcomers alike, reinforcing its position as a leader in marine radar technology.
