Simrad HALO 300X 130w Radar System No Antenna 20m Cable
Simrad HALO 300X 130w Radar System No Antenna 20m Cable — Product description
Discover Unmatched Visibility on the Water with Simrad HALO 300X Radar
Imagine navigating through foggy inlets or scanning distant horizons for storms while keeping a sharp eye on nearby traffic—all without compromising safety or clarity. The Simrad HALO 300X 130W pulse compression radar system elevates your boating experience by blending cutting-edge solid-state technology with intuitive controls. This powerhouse delivers the punch of traditional high-power radars but starts up in seconds, making it ideal for both leisurely cruises and demanding offshore adventures.
Crafted for boaters who demand reliability, the HALO 300X shines in real-world scenarios. From threading through busy marinas to tracking bird flocks that signal prime fishing spots, its advanced features provide the edge you need. Without the antenna included, you have flexibility to pair it with the perfect size for your vessel—3ft, 4ft, or 6ft options to match your setup.
Power and Precision: Core Technologies That Set It Apart
At the heart of the HALO 300X is its 130W output, rivaling 25kW magnetron systems for detection from as close as 6 meters out to an impressive 96 nautical miles. Pulse compression technology sharpens the beam for superior target separation, cutting through rain clutter and revealing small objects like channel markers or buoys that lesser radars miss.
- Beam Sharpening: Narrows the horizontal beam by up to 30% (e.g., 1.7° on 3ft antenna), enhancing resolution for distant or clustered targets.
- Dual Range Operation: Monitor close-in hazards simultaneously with far-off weather, perfect for coastal runs.
- Instant-On Ready: Powers up from standby in seconds (16-25s from cold start), no waiting like old magnetrons.
Safety Features for Peace of Mind
Collision avoidance gets a boost with VelocityTrack Doppler, color-coding approaching vessels in red and receding ones in green—spot threats instantly without constant scanning. ZoneTrack lets you define two custom zones to automatically track up to 50 targets, displaying their speed and course vectors overlaid on your chartplotter.
Dangerous Target Alerts grab your attention with audible and visual warnings for radar or AIS contacts closing in too fast. These tools transform raw data into actionable insights, helping skippers of all levels make smarter decisions.
Effortless Operation with Smart Modes
No more fiddling with gain or tuning—select from preset modes tailored to your activity:
| Mode | Best For |
|---|---|
| Harbour | Tight spaces, docks, and slow maneuvers—optimizes short-range clarity. |
| Offshore | Long-range scanning for vessels and weather over open water. |
| Weather | Rain and squall detection with clutter suppression. |
| Bird (Bird+ on 300X) | Spot flocks up to 8nm out, leading you to baitfish schools. |
Sportfishermen love the Bird+ mode, channeling full power to reveal surface disturbances from feeding fish. It's a game-changer for tournament pros chasing structure.
Rugged Build for Harsh Marine Conditions
Engineered to IEC60945 standards, the HALO 300X withstands -25°C to +55°C temps, high winds up to 80 knots, and IPX6 waterproofing on key components. The brushless motor with electromagnetic braking ensures reliable rotation at 16-48 RPM, while low sidelobes minimize false echoes.
Power draw stays efficient: 45-75W average (11W standby), compatible with 12/24V systems. Compass-safe distances make installation straightforward on steel-hulled boats too.
Seamless Integration with Your Simrad Ecosystem
Plug into NSS, NSX, NSO, or GO series plotters via Ethernet. The included 20m cable handles power and data, with the RI-50 interface box simplifying wiring. Upgrade paths from older HALO models are drop-in easy, maintaining the same footprint.
Pair with optional antennas for custom beam widths: tighter for sportfishers (6ft at 1.2°), wider for cruisers (3ft at 2.4°). Solid-state design means no transmitter degradation over time—consistent performance season after season.

The HALO® 3000 array radar offers a premium experience on the water. An impressive 130 W of power — equivalent to a 25 kW magnetron radar — delivers an unrivaled combination of short- and long-range coverage that enables you to see targets from six meters (20 feet) out to 96 nautical miles with exceptional clarity. Pulse Compression technology powers confident navigation through marinas, and superior storm and hazard detection across a greater distance. The HALO® array series not only increase situational awareness and collision avoidance but also offer higher-resolution target detection you won’t find in lower-powered radars.
The HALO 3000-series boast an array of new features that make navigation safer and offer peace of mind. ZoneTrack™ brings the best of professional boating technology to recreational users, allowing them to track up to 50 vessels within a defined area, automatically detecting their course and speed. HALO’s Dangerous Target Alerts highlight range, graphical bearing, and heading of other vessels relative to yours. Meanwhile, VelocityTrack™ uses Doppler technology to show targets color-coded so you can identify potential threats at a glance. Because, when it comes to safety, situational awareness is everything.
The next generation of pulse compression radars, HALO 2000 and 3000 build on the features that have made HALO an established choice for boaters across the globe. The solid-state technology gets you up and running quickly, and HALO’s low-power pulsed transmissions make it safe to run in harbors and marinas. Dual Range mode allows you to keep an eye on distant weather cells while monitoring channel markers and high-speed watercraft up close. Advanced digital signal processing gives you a clearer view of targets, helping eliminate sea clutter, while Beam Sharpening provides enhanced separation between small or distant targets. Finally, HALO 2000 and 3000 have the same footprint as their predecessors, making it easy to upgrade your current system. It’s also compatible with a range of Simrad® chart plotters, including NSS™, NSX™, NSO™, and GO™.
