Simrad HALO 2003 Radar w/3 Open Array & 20M Cable

The Simrad HALO 2003 open array radar maximizes navigation tracking safety when commercial vessels navigate high-speed offshore routes. Severe ocean squalls and heavy clutter regularly hide small targets, generating immediate situational blind spots. Installing this compact open array radar delivers ultra-fast scanning data, ensuring operators maintain complete pulse compression radar tracking control during rough sea transit maneuvers.

This solid state radar utilizes an advanced 50W pulse compression transmitter assembly. Unlike legacy magnetron systems that wear down over time, this compact open array antenna delivers clear target resolution across a 72 nautical mile range. The cast pedestal achieves an IPX6 waterproofing standard, fully isolating interior wiring terminals from high pressure spray during high-speed deck transit operations over open waters.

Why Choose This Radar over Generic Alternatives

Investing in this premium heavy duty marine mount package is ideal for mid-sized sportfishers requiring professional target separation. Unlike bulky 6ft arrays that create dangerous deck overhangs, this compact 3ft open array antenna fits medium hardtops perfectly. It delivers exceptional target isolation across a 72 nautical mile range via a bundled 20M cable, ensuring recreational boaters eliminate unexpected tracking dropouts during coastal water transits safely.

Application & Limitations

This compact open array radar provides outstanding mapping tracking on medium center consoles, sportfishers, and custom cruising craft. However, because its high-resolution scanner profile carries a combined dry weight of 54 lbs, it cannot mount onto thin unreinforced targa arches safely. Additionally, its transmitter draws 65W during active data processing, requiring a stable 12V/24V DC electrical network structure during extended offline anchoring operations.
