Hi, I've been getting friendly with my
radar lately and wondering about the zone
alarm settings. Last overnighter I set up an 8 mile zone all around and it worked pretty well except, once a vessel is inside the perimeter the
alarm keeps going off. I then changed it to a 350 degree pie and put the other vessel in the 10 degree excluded part, but that required constant attention and was fiddly.
How do others set up their alarm zones? Can MARPA
tracking be used effectively as well?
While we are on alarms, the alarm is a tiny bleep bleep coming from the plotter at the
helm, hardly audible from anywhere else on board. Is there a way to connect another external alarm to a
raymarine E90W, or even a way to make this one louder? I dont see any setting adjustments. It would be useless to actually alert you on
passage and I want it loud enough to wake people off watch as well,.
Thanks
Monte
