Lowrance HALO24 Radar Dome w/Doppler Technology
Lowrance HALO24 Radar Dome w/Doppler Technology — Product description
Imagine scanning the horizon with unmatched clarity, spotting potential collisions before they become threats, and tracking distant storms while keeping a sharp eye on nearby traffic. The Lowrance HALO24 radar dome brings this reality to your vessel through cutting-edge solid-state technology. Designed for boaters who demand precision in every outing, this 24-inch radome packs a punch with its ability to deliver real-time insights across vast distances—from tight marina maneuvers to open-water adventures.
What sets the HALO24 apart is its blend of speed, sensitivity, and smarts. Boaters often struggle with radars that lag in updates or compromise on range, but this unit refreshes your display up to 60 times per minute at close quarters, giving you an edge in busy harbors or foggy conditions. Whether you're a weekend angler chasing birds or a coastal cruiser monitoring weather fronts, it transforms your chartplotter into a vigilant co-pilot.
Why Boaters Trust HALO24 for Superior Situational Awareness
The secret lies in its advanced pulse compression system paired with beam sharpening. This means sharper target discrimination, even at extreme ranges, without the fuzzy echoes common in older magnetron radars. No more waiting for warm-up—it's ready to go from standby in seconds, conserving power on long trips.
- Lightning-Fast Updates: Achieve 60 RPM sweeps up to 2 nautical miles, painting a near-instantaneous 360-degree picture perfect for dodging obstacles in real time.
- Dual-Range Magic: Monitor close-in hazards and far-off weather simultaneously, splitting your screen without losing detail on either.
- Smart Doppler Alerts: VelocityTrack instantly colors incoming threats red and receding ones green, scanning every pixel automatically—no manual tweaks needed.
- Versatile Modes: Switch effortlessly between harbor for short-range clutter rejection, offshore for balanced scanning, weather for rain cell piercing, and bird mode to locate feeding flocks from afar.
- Robust Build: Withstands harsh marine environments, from pounding waves to 100-knot winds, thanks to its IPX6 sealing and rugged dome design.
Real-World Performance: From Marinas to the Open Sea
Fishermen love how bird mode reveals surface disturbances caused by bait balls, leading straight to the action. Sailors appreciate the MARPA tracking for up to 20 targets in dual range, maintaining locks on vessels during tacks or night passages. Powerboaters rave about collision avoidance in no-visibility scenarios, where Doppler tech flags speedboats cutting across your path amid rain clutter.
In practice, integrating with Lowrance multifunction displays unlocks overlay views on charts, letting you correlate radar hits with AIS and sonar for a fused awareness layer. It's not just a detector; it's a proactive safety net that buys you precious reaction time.
"Switching to HALO24 felt like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone—everything's faster, clearer, and more intuitive." – Experienced coastal skipper

Frequently Asked Questions
How does VelocityTrack Doppler technology work on the HALO24?
VelocityTrack uses the Doppler effect to measure target motion relative to your boat. Incoming objects appear red for immediate alerts, while outgoing ones show green, processing all on-screen targets automatically for effortless collision avoidance.
Is the HALO24 suitable for small boats under 30 feet?
Absolutely—its compact 24-inch dome and lightweight design make it perfect for trailerable boats, fishing skiffs, and daysailers, providing pro-level radar without overwhelming your deck space or power draw.
What makes pulse compression better than traditional radars?
Pulse compression delivers consistent energy across ranges, improving sensitivity for weak echoes while rejecting clutter. Combined with beam sharpening, it offers crystal-clear separation of boats, buoys, and birds at any distance.
Can I use bird mode effectively for fishing?
Yes, bird mode optimizes sensitivity to detect flocks diving on baitfish schools, even in choppy seas. Pair it with dual range to scan structure below while spotting surface activity above.
How quick is setup from standby?
Instant On technology means no magnetron warm-up—it's scanning within seconds of activation, ideal for intermittent use during anchoring or docking.
Does it integrate with other Lowrance gear?
Seamlessly plugs into Lowrance HDS, Elite, or Hook series via Ethernet, enabling radar overlays on charts, AIS correlation, and shared data across your network.
What's the minimum detectable range?
Down to 6 meters reliably, with ultra-short pulses excelling in harbor mode for picking out small craft or mooring balls in no time.
Our most revolutionary radar to date, HALO24 offers a second by second view around your boat. Velocity Track ™ Doppler technology provides instantaneous hazard identification at short range while long range coverage up to 48 Nautical Mile lets you keep an eye on the weather up ahead.
