Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HALO 3006 superior to traditional magnetron radars?

The HALO 3006's 130W solid-state transmitter delivers power equivalent to a 25kW magnetron radar while offering superior reliability, instant-on capability, no warm-up time, safe harbor operation, and no tube replacement requirements. The pulse compression technology provides better target definition and clutter rejection.

How does the Bird+ Mode enhance fishing success?

Bird+ Mode focuses the full 130W power output specifically for detecting flocks of diving birds up to 8 nautical miles away. Since diving birds indicate feeding fish below, this technology dramatically reduces search time and fuel consumption while increasing fishing success rates.

What chartplotters are compatible with the HALO 3006?

The HALO 3006 is compatible with Simrad NSS, NSX, NSO, and GO series chartplotters. It connects via Ethernet and integrates seamlessly with existing Simrad marine electronics networks for shared radar data across multiple displays.

How does VelocityTrack Doppler technology work for collision avoidance?

VelocityTrack analyzes the Doppler shift of radar returns to determine if targets are approaching or receding from your vessel. Targets are color-coded on the display - red for approaching vessels, green for receding - allowing instant threat assessment and collision avoidance decision-making.

What is the difference between standard Bird Mode and Bird+ Mode?

Standard Bird Mode provides general bird detection capabilities as part of normal radar operation. Bird+ Mode concentrates the full 130W power output specifically for bird detection, extending range to 8 nautical miles and optimizing sensitivity for small bird targets that indicate fish activity.

Is professional installation required for the HALO 3006?

While technically capable installers may install the system, professional installation by certified Simrad dealers is strongly recommended to ensure proper power supply sizing, RF grounding, network integration, compass safe distances, and optimal performance. Professional installation also maintains warranty coverage.
