摘要：	Si-Tex Marine Electronics introduced Koden's latest radar, the Koden RADAR-pc-1100, this past fall. It's a vastly upgraded version of the Koden RADARpc that was discontinued about two years ago. River operators are the primary market for the RADARpc-1100. That's because the radar can be matched up with Rose Point ECS chart-plotter software, which about "98% of the river pilots use," said Allen Schneider, vice president of sales and marketing, Si-Tex Marine. Interfacing the two systems turns the charting display into a full-featured radar system. The interface is seamless, said Schneider, requiring only an Ethernet connection. "The river guys have been asking for that type of capability," he said. Matching up the Koden radar with the Rose Point software allows them to see "the river, the buoys, the radar targets, AIS targets all on one screen, and it confirms that A1S targets are where AIS says they are." Overall, it gives a much better situational awareness. Whereas the discontinued Koden RADARpc needed a different control box when a different radar antenna was installed, the new RADARpc-1100 control box can be matched up with any of the Koden antennas, from a 4-kW 25″ dome to a 9′25-kW open array. That makes upgrading -your existing radar relatively simple.
