Know before you buy
This configuration includes the 4-foot open array antenna and the necessary hardware to connect it to an existing compatible Simrad radar processor or pedestal. You will need to ensure you have a compatible Simrad HALO radar base unit to complete the system.
The 130-watt output provides high-energy pulses that significantly improve the radar's ability to detect small or distant targets. This extra power is particularly effective at identifying storm cells and smaller vessels in challenging weather conditions.
While the 4-foot open array offers exceptional range and resolution, it is physically large and typically intended for larger vessels with adequate mounting space. Ensure your boat has a sturdy radar arch or mast capable of supporting the weight and dimensions of a 4-foot array.
Yes, the HALO 3004 is designed to integrate seamlessly with Simrad’s networked marine electronics. It connects via standard Ethernet, allowing you to view radar data directly on your compatible Simrad multifunction display.
HALO technology uses solid-state broadband transmission, which provides a near-instant startup time and superior target separation compared to traditional magnetron-based pulse radars. It also offers a much safer, lower-power emission profile while maintaining high-definition clarity.
