Simrad HALO® 2004 Radar w/4' Open Array & 20M Cable
Simrad HALO® 2004 Radar w/4' Open Array & 20M Cable — Product description
Imagine navigating through dense fog or crowded marinas with crystal-clear visibility of every obstacle, vessel, and even distant weather patterns. The Simrad HALO 2004 radar with its 4-foot open array antenna transforms your boating experience by delivering unmatched short- and long-range detection. This solid-state powerhouse packs 50 watts of power—rivaling traditional 12kW magnetron systems—while using advanced pulse compression for razor-sharp target resolution from just 20 feet out to an impressive 72 nautical miles.
Crafted for serious boaters, anglers, and commercial operators, this radar boosts situational awareness without the complexity. Its intuitive preset modes let you switch effortlessly between harbor maneuvering, offshore cruising, weather tracking, and bird spotting, ensuring you're always prepared for whatever the water throws your way.
Standout Features That Set It Apart
- Advanced Pulse Compression with Beam Sharpening: Provides exceptional clarity on small or distant targets, cutting through sea clutter for reliable hazard detection.
- Simultaneous Dual Range Operation: Monitor close-in traffic like buoys and speedboats while scanning far-off storms—perfect for versatile voyages.
- ZoneTrack Technology: Define up to two zones and automatically track 50+ targets, displaying their speed and course for proactive collision avoidance.
- VelocityTrack Doppler: Color-codes moving targets (green for approaching, red for receding), giving instant visual cues to potential threats.
- Dangerous Target Alerts: Prioritizes radar and AIS contacts with bearing, range, and heading info right on your display.
- Ultra-Fast Startup: Instant from standby, ready to transmit in 16-25 seconds from cold start—minimal wait time when seconds count.
- Preset Modes for Effortless Use: Harbor for tight spots, Offshore for open water, Weather for storm fronts, and Bird for locating baitfish schools via feeding flocks.
Real-World Benefits for Boaters and Anglers
Safety first: In low visibility or high traffic, the HALO 2004's Doppler and tracking tech acts like an extra crew member, flagging risks before they become problems. For fishing enthusiasts, its bird mode reveals surface activity from miles away, guiding you straight to productive grounds without guesswork.
Unlike older magnetron radars, this solid-state design emits low-power pulses safe for harbor use and requires no warm-up, making it ideal for day sailors and weekend warriors. The 4-foot open array spins at 16-48 RPM, balancing speed and detail, while IPX6 waterproofing shrugs off harsh marine environments.
Upgrade seamlessly with its compact footprint, matching legacy HALO models, and plug-and-play compatibility with popular Simrad multifunction displays. Enjoy peace of mind from enhanced resolution that reveals nuances lower-power units miss, like tightly grouped vessels or subtle weather shifts.
Robust Build and Performance Specs
Engineered for endurance, this radar thrives in extreme conditions: from -25°C to +55°C temperatures, relentless UV exposure, and 80-knot winds. Its brushless motor with electromagnetic braking ensures precise parking, and the GaAs front-end low-noise amplifier delivers a 5dB noise figure for pristine signals.
