Bird+ Mode (available on the HALO 3000) focuses the radar’s full 130 watts power on finding birds, detecting flocks as far as 8nm away
ZoneTrack brings the best of professional boating technology to recreational users, allowing them to automatically track up to 50 vessels within a defined area, providing course and speed information to aid situational awareness.
Dangerous Target Alerts graphically highlight range, bearing and heading of other vessels relative to yours, with VelocityTrack showing color-coded targets in order to identify potential threats at a glance.

The Simrad HALO 2000 brings 50 watts of power and ensures visibility out to 72 nautical miles, while the Simrad HALO 3000 brings 130 watts of power and provides visibility out to 96 nautical miles. That power is combined with Simrad’s world class beam sharpening for enhanced target separation, unmatched in the marketplace.
