Once set up, the robust build quality integrates seamlessly with the existing Simrad ecosystem, delivering performance far beyond standard recreational units.
Know before you buy
The 6-foot array provides a narrower horizontal beam width, which results in superior target separation and higher resolution imagery. This allows you to distinguish between closely spaced objects more effectively than with smaller antennas.
No, this specific model does not include built-in target tracking capabilities. It is designed to provide high-resolution radar imagery for navigation and hazard detection.
The 20-meter cable is generally adequate for most mid-sized vessels. However, you should measure the cable run from your mounting location to your display unit to ensure it provides enough length for your specific boat layout.
The HALO 2006 is engineered for reliable performance in harsh marine environments. Its advanced signal processing helps filter out clutter from rain and sea states, ensuring you maintain clear situational awareness even when visibility is compromised.
Due to its 6-foot open array size, this radar is best suited for larger recreational or commercial vessels that have the mounting space to accommodate a wide antenna and require long-range detection capabilities.
