Why You Need a Radar Target Enhancer? Most yachts and motor cruisers are today made of GRP, an inherently poor reflector of radar signals, the prime tool used by ships to see us. For our own safety and peace of mind we should do all that we can to enhance our return signal and thus increase the probability that it will be seen consistently. The active Radar Target Enhancer is the modern solution to this problem. What is a Radar Target Enhancer ? The Sea-me Radar Target Enhancer is an ACTIVE system which receives a radar signal, amplifies it and re-transmits it. This ensures a stronger return signal and a more even strength around the full 360° azimuth. Why Fit The Sea-me Radar Target Enhancer? Your safety depends on being seen, day and night, fair or foul. Radar is the prime tool used by ships to see. In any conditions Sea-me will increase the probability that you will be seen on radar. At night, the range of the masthead light of a sailing yacht of less than 20m LOA is only 3 nautical miles and of a sailing yacht of less than 12m LOA only 2 miles. A ship making 20 knots will cover 3 miles in only 9 minutes - any steps you can take to give a vessel more time to avoid you are a must! Sea-me has a maximum radar cross section of 63sqm, some 6 times the current requirement for a passive radar reflector, and an average of 34sqm. Sea-me is an ACTIVE system which emits a stronger signal than it receives. The detection range is thus increased. The higher a reflecting device can be fitted, the better - Sea-me is ultra light (weighing just 410 gms) and can therefore be fitted at the masthead. Sea-me uses little power - just 150mA on standby and 350mA when it is transmitting. Sea-me, because it is ACTIVE, tells you when you are being struck by a radar signal and therefore when a ship is in your area. A sounder can be connected to the control box so that you get an audible as well as a visual warning that you have been struck by a radar signal. Sea-me can be fitted to your boat using a standard 1" 14 thread per inch antenna mount (not included). Supplied complete with 24m cable and full instructions, Sea-Me is easy to fit and to use.
