Within the Range mode menu, the transceiver instrumented range can be selected between 6nm,
24nm and 48nm.
6nm: Limits the transceiver to an instrumented range of 6nm (option only available for
SBS-800-1, -2 and -3).
24nm: Limits the transceiver to an instrumented range of 24nm. This offers twice the range
discrimination of the 48nm range.
48nm: Limits the transceiver to an instrumented range of 48nm.
