Hello, question!
I just bought a boat with Simrad Nss12 Evo3
With old Furuno radar
Will this simrad work with this radar dome?
And does it come with all necessary cables to connect to my Evo3
Thanks
Hi Frank,
Unfortunately your simrad evo 3 will not work your furuno radar. They aren't compatible with each other. You would have to replace the radar and put a simrad radar. What size boat do you have so I can recommend the right size radar?
@@Capitano_Davide
I have a 2670 Glacier bay Cat 26ft
Also I need to add auto pilot
What package do you recommend
Thanks
Nice Boat! The radar you need for your boat is the halo 20 +. The autopilot you need is the AP 44 medium capacity pack autopilot. Be sure to purchase your equipment from an authorized simrad dealer. The place I went that I know is an authorized simrad dealer is D&B Marine Supplies. It is linked in the description. Also, you can find the radar and autopilot you are looking for in those links as well. Another thing a lot of people don't know is that if you are not installing it yourself you can hire a certified simrad installer and you will even have the option to get extended warranty from simrad.
Go where there is boat traffic and show how you track targets(ie moving vessels) and avoid them. Lots of boaters just utilize radar for safety/collision avoidance and would find this very helpful.
I will definitely do this soon

it's CRAZY that it's both so advanced AND cheap
Yep, simrad makes some good marine technologies.
Great information. I have a Simrad Go9. Does the Halo20+ plug and play with my unit? Does it have its own power source or get power from the Go9 or other Simrad display unit. Would I have to add a switch to turn the unit off and on when not in use? Thanks
Q 1.Yes and no on your first question. It does plug into your simrad to give information to the simrad. But it doesn't cause your unit todo wierd things. You would control the radar from your unit.
Q 2.Yes and no on this one to. You can make it get power from the boat or the unit or both. This is so if the unit loses power so you can still use the radar.
Q 3.No you wouldn't need to add another switch to turn the radar on and off. You control it completly from the simrad unit. It can go in either standby which doesn't use power and basically means its off. Or it can be in transmit which means its on and transmitting.
This can be turned on and off by simply selecting the radar option on your home screen. Then selecting the menu button, the button with three bars on the top left of the screen. Then selecting transmit to turn on or seleting standby to put in standby (turn off).
@@Capitano_Davide Thank you for this information. I should get my new unit this coming week. You do a great video. It would be nice if you could do a video on the actual operation of the unit. Very little information the internet. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
Have you been able to compare the Simrad Halo 24 to the Simrad HALO-6 or HALO-4 Pulse Compression Radars -- yes obviously the 4 and 6 need more space, but they can resolve far more detail than most domed radars. Thoughts?
This is coming up in a future video, subscribe so you don't miss it.
hi dear frind where me can find the DRIVE BELT for 3G LOWRANCE my radar nw not working due to the red rubber cut can you advice me where me can find it or make smaller like the old one
Hi,
How are you? I hope you enjoyed watching the video.
I don't think you can buy that part but, I would check with Navico. If it is still under warranty I would send it back to them. However, I am afraid you may have to buy a new radar if this is not the case.
Thanks
Hi do you need an extra module for holo 24?
No everything you need to install this is in the box when you by it.
great info - keep up the great work!
My 24" simrad halo cap blew off and I need a replacement.
Hi,
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already.
If your cover blew off the only people that might be able to help is simrad. If it is under warranty they should be able to send you the part or a new radar. However, if they can't then you might be stuck with buying a new radar unfortunately. The guys I have linked in the description are good, check them out to.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
whats the difference between halo20+ vs halo24
Mainly the size but a little more. More on this in the next Video.
Hi I live in SE coast of FL and want a radar mainly to find birds and fish. Would bird mode on Simrad 20+ (36 mile) work just as well for me as bird mode on the Simrad 24? Thanks!
Do you have a radar already or looking to purchase one?
How do I set up my radar right all I see is clutter can see barges but no small objects I live in hawaii
I would first try changing between the different modes and see if that helps you get the result you want. Maybe harbor mode might be it. If that isn't it, try playing around with the gain and clutter in different modes to try and fine tune your radar. If you anchor in a harbor or bay near a busy channel you can play around with the radar and learn how to read and fine tune your radar. There are several different factors that play into it how the setting should be set. So it may vary from day to day for you. Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
Often does Bird mode work and do you ever use it and get there and see nothing
Bird mode has always worked for me because I learned to use it at the dock so when I went offshore it would work. You really just need to play with it because depending how much gain you and clutter you have will cause to see different things. Typically a bird is a yellow dot. I have been able to see birds up to 3 miles away. I will do a video on this in the future. Not sure when thou so be sure and subscribe and hit the notification bell so you don't miss that video. Thanks for watching.
So for freshwater Great Lakes fishing, less than 150’ , suspended fish, and shore fishing, what would be the best transducer to pair with the NSS evo 3s 9? Is the 9 large enough to get a clear picture?
Several transducers you could use. Are you looking for Thru Hull or Transom Mount. The Evo 3 S 9 is definitely big enough for a clear picture but, bigger is always better.
@@Capitano_Davide I think Transome mount. Not keen on putting notes in the bottom of the boat. I don’t want to squint to see the 9, it fits my budget.
The Transom Mount Transducer I am going to recommend is the Simrad 3 in 1 Active Imaging Transducer. This is $299.99. I have heard a lot of good things about this transducer. And have been told it works well inside of 250 ft of water. Then as far as your unit a 12" screen should be good if you want to upgrade. There are several options.
1. You could get a Nss 12 Evo 3 (non S) for $2999.99.
2. You could get the go 12 XSE for $2299.99 (this is almost as good as the Evo 3 but, the biggest difference will be that it doesn't have the side button bar.
3. You could the NSS 12 Evo 3 S for $3999.99 (this is definitely the best unit of the three)
4. You could get the Evo 3 S Nss12 Bundle that way you get the Halo 20 + radar and the Chartplotter for $5599.99
5. You could get the Go 12 XSE bundle with the halo 20 + Radar and the 3 in 1 transducer for $4199.99
Also, can you get all of these things in this message from dbmarinesupplies.com with FAST FREE 1-3 Day Tracked Shipping and if you have any warranty issues they can help you with the process as they are a navico dealer.

Thanks for information. I have Simrad Go7xsr for boat Robalo R180 2021 do I need the antenna for the equipment.
When you ask of you need an antenna do you mean for the unit?
Yes for the unit
@@sserrno714 No you don't need an antenna. Those have built in gps in them. You should be fine. If you have issues with the unit as far as picking up location do a hard reset, or try powering off the whole boat and restarting everything, I don't know why but sometimes it makes a difference. If that doesn't work call simrad and it's likely a warranty issue.
Thanks you for information.
Any radars on the market where you know bird mode works better than Simrad? Maybe Furuno? Thanks again!
Are you looking for an open array or closed dome?
I'm trying to learn. Why SIMRAD over Raymarine over Garmin over B&G?
What questions do you have? I would be happy to help.
@@Capitano_Davide do you prefer SIMRAD over Garmin and if so, why?
Simrad is definitely a better unit than garmin as long as you are willing to spend some time learning how to use it. Garmin is very user friendly unit but, in contrast you will get some limitations from it. Garmin is good for navigation. Garmins brand of charts is a little better than the cmap but you can get a navionics chip and you will have a great chart. Although, cmap charts are still very good. Simrad does beat Garmin in navigation when it comes to the autopilot. I really love this feature because it is very precise and hands free. Simrad will keep you right on the line saving you fuel. While Garmin autopilot will almost keep you on the line to your waypoint but, will still be off. As far as downscan, side scan, and other features of that sort. A lot of it has to do with you getting a good transducer. But, when this is not the issue Simrad consistently beats Garmin in all these areas. The picture is much clearer and you can fine tune a little better than garmin. Going back to navigation simrad does have some better features in their charts then Garmin. This I have heard from talking to some installers. Also, simrad units are generally faster, more responsive, and have more advanced features than garmin. Also, the radar is a better radar than garmins. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, no matter which brand you chose.

Would you still go with the Halo 24 over an open array on a 44’ flybridge vessel. Mounting over 20’ high above sea level ?
No, I wouldn't go with the halo 24 on your boat because of how high you're off the water. The open array radars are made for bigger boats that would be mounted high above the water line. Although closed Dome radars are better for close range use. It won't end up being better for you because you are so high off the water. You will need to go with an open array because the beam of the radar is different from the closed dome. You will still be able to see birds and other vessels and objects on your radar. It's just because of the height of your boat. Also, because of how the earth is round that also plays into affect. So, no don't go with the halo 24 go with the open array. You will be able to see a better picture with an open array than a closed dome given your situation. I believe the size radar array you need is the 4 ft array. If you haven't bought your equipment yet, I would recommend going through dbmarinesupplies.com because that is where I do all my shopping for my boating needs and the most important part is also that they are authorized simrad dealers so, if you have any warranty issues they can make the process a lot easier and less stressful.
Let me know if you have any questions and I would be happy to answer them.
Thanks
David
@@Capitano_Davide Just as a heads up, a solid state pulse compression radar like the HALO will actually pick up close range targets better with an open array than you would with a dome With no magnetron, there's no main bang, and with the more concentrated horizontal beam of an open array you put more energy on a target, producing a stronger echo. As far as height above the water line, both the dome and array have the same 25 degree vertical beam width, so the antenna height isn't a deciding factor when choosing a dome or array.
@@WharfRatNYC Hi, How are you? Thanks for watching the video I really hope you enjoyed watching. Closed domes are better for close range than open arrays. Even though what you are saying is mostly true. I am not sure exactly what it is but, closed dome radars have better target separation than open array radars at close range. Also, with the halo radars that are closed dome spinning at 60 RPM it allows you to see targets at close range easier. The open array radars have a stronger narrow beam which is why you see them on taller bigger boats. This way the can pick up targets easier farther away. This beam works better for boats that are big and tall. Ex: a sportfish But, the closed dome radars have a wider beam which makes it better to pick up targets at a close range and better for smaller boats that aren't as tall. The halo 24 closed dome has a 3.9 H X 22 V degree beam compared to the more common halo 4 open array which has a 1.9H X 25 V degree beam. The beam of the halo 24 is twice as wide. Because of this it allows you to see targets closer much easier. Let me know if you have any further question and I would be glad to provide more clarification. Thanks for watching!!!
My simrad now is not transmitting
Ideas to fix?
Check your software and makesure its up to date, check your connections. If you have no luck call simrad.
Can simrad radar work with lowrance hds
Yea but buy the lowarance one it's the same thing just different letters.it says lowarance instead of simrad are you looking at the halo 20 or 24
Need a 24 dome

I heard bird mode is kinda trash, thoughts?
It can be bad if you are not very familiar with your radar. The best way to learn is adjusting your clutter and gain at the dock. It's all about learning to fine tune your radar.
what did you upgrade from?
I upgraded this radar from the previous 4g simrad radar a few years ago. There is bo comparison between the two. Normally when a company releases a new radar its a big upgrade.
I just got a boat that comes with a simrad radar. How do I know what kind is it ( 20 or 24) just measuring the round
So yes. You would need to measure the diameter of the radar. Also an easier way is if you go on your simrad unit. Then go to radar on your home page. Turn it on by pressing transmit. Then zoom it out to the max. If the radius is 48 miles then you have the halo 24. If it is 36 miles then it is the halo 20+. Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be glad to help?

@@Capitano_Davide thank you. I have thousands of questions. Brand new to navigation and boating
I would be glad to answer them for you. If there's a video you would like me to make that you think you and other people would have interest let me know.
Maybe I missed it ? Wasn't the name of this video "...was it worth it ?" Did you say whether it was worth it and I missed that ?
Hi, Thanks for watching!
I don't think I explicitly said yes it is worth it, but I think it's pretty easy to infer that it is.
Let me know if you have any questions. I would be glad to help. This definitely is worth it and is a great radar. If you're looking into an open array, the new halo 2000 and 3000 arrays are killer.
Thanks
@@Capitano_Davide ...thanks....guess the question of previous generation vs latest might be obvious....but not necessarily....for all we know, may be a bunch of hype and little tweaks/incremental improvements, so we need those with lots of radar experience to chime in. What I'm trying to absorb now are the differences between HALO20 and HALO20+ that make the PLUS worth charging almost $1000 more for !?? ...anything more than just increased range ?
@@Stenn333 The halo 20+ is a big difference. It has more power and can spin at 60RPM. More power allows you to get a better picture and target seperation. Also, it can track more targets at once and has more features. If you plan to use the radar for its actual use the halo 20+ would be well worth it.
Check out the guys I have in the description, they'll be glad to take care of you.
Howmuch is that radar
The radar in this video is the halo 24 and cost 3099.99 they are linked in the description to a simrad dealer
Hii what will be the best radar for small boat looking for yellofin tuna on offshore.
Hi,
Thanks for watching.
What is the make and model of your boat.
