What is the InSight Radar Box?
The InSight Radar Box is a specially designed box that converts the analog signal
from many existing radars into a digital format usable by a personal computer.
Over the past decades, little has changed with the way a radar antenna sends and
receives radar microwaves. However, there have been significant advancements
in the display and utility of the resulting image. Until now, boaters wanting to take
advantage of these technological advancements had to replace the entire radar
system even though the antenna was virtually unchanged.
The InSight Radar Box is another market breakthrough. With the InSight Radar Box
and Nobeltec software, you can avoid the cost of a complete retro-fit and still get the
significant advantages of combining the information of radar and electronic charts.
How Does the InSight Radar Box Work?
The InSight Radar Box essentially “repeats” the radar data from your traditional
radar display to the personal computer. Depending on your radar make and model,
tuning or other adjustments may occur on the already processed radar image. An
advantage to this radar system is that you can keep your existing radar display for
redundancy, comparison and safety. A disadvantage, aside from taking up more
helm space, is that the radar image may look slightly different between the computer
and radar display.
