NEW HALO
24 RADAR
Lowrance recently announced the addition of a brand new radar
model to their innovative series of marine radars. HALO 24 is the
first in its class… and Lowrance SA is happy to let our customers
know that we now have this new and exciting radar in stock!
Let’s first discuss what a radar actually is, how it
works and why it’s so important…
The word RADAR is an acronym for Radio Detection And Ranging, and
in its simplest form it consists of a transmitted radio signal aimed by an
antenna in a particular direction, and a receiver that detects the echoes
off any objects in the path of the signal.
