31.Press [Enter] to open the start window.

32.Press [Enter] to transmit the message to the message buffer. (To escape, select No and press [Enter].) The message “Message is entered in sending Buffer.” appears and the message prepared is printed.

Note: The message buffer can only hold one message. However a second message may be sent to the buffer by assigning a Send Delay to it.

When the message buffer is full, “Cannot enter this mes- sage to sending Buffer.” appears to alert you.

33. Press any key to return to the standby display.

The message(s) will be transmitted according to Send Delay setting. “Current State: SENDING” appears at the bottom of the screen dur- ing transmission.

If the message was transmitted successfully “Successful Sending mes- sage” appears and its particulars are sent to the Display Log.

TRANSMIT MESSAGE STATUS

The terminal unit displays transmit message status as follows:

“Message Send failed.” This appears if the message could not be transmitted because of technical reasons such as satellite malfunction, signal degradation, or no reply from LES. Try to transmit the message again.

“Message Send rejected.” This appears when the LES rejects the message because of non-technical reasons such as unpaid subscriber’s fee.

“Message Send pending.” This appears when the circuits at the LES are busy. Your message will be transmitted when a circuit becomes clear.

Transmitting message stored on floppy disk (multiple address)

1.Close any open files.

2.Insert floppy disk containing file to be sent. (Be sure to insert the floppy disk completely in the drive. Otherwise, “FD not inserted in drive.” appears.)

3.Press [F3] to display the Transmit menu.

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.
