How to do P.M.(Performance Monitor) Test on RADAR #Radar #Onboard #Ship #PKO #NAVIGATION #EQUIPMENT

R A D A R Radars on board are probably the most used equipment during navigation. It is a good tool for the look out. We are so much dependent on the Radar that sometimes we use it more than we use our eyes for look out.  Performance test We need to perform Radar performance test at least every watch. But most of the times navigators fail to perform this test every watch. Sometimes it is not done for weeks and they make the entry in the log book without doing the test. Radar Performance test checks the transmission and receiving power of the radar. For example if the transmission power of the radar is not enough, radar may not be able to paint some of the target at all. Or radar may only be able to paint the targets with very less sensitivity (faint echoes).
