Chapter 8. Product Specifications: 8.1 General

The document describes the specifications of three radar models: RA40, RA41, and RA42. The key specifications include a distance range of 0.125 to 24 NM for RA40 and 0.125 to 36/48 NM for RA41/RA42. Bearing resolution is within 7.5 degrees for RA40 and finer for RA41/RA42. Interfaces include dual NMEA0183 ports and connections for external devices like a buzzer. Dimensions and additional options are listed.
