I'm curious how many people, when using their radar, make use of the ARPA/MARPA functions. It allows you to "acquire" and track a target, showing the targets speed and direction. If you have radar, please take the poll.
My AIS plots on the radar display as well, it is simpler to just click on the AIS target than to use the radar functions.

Our Furuno NavNet VX2 does not have ARPA but it does let you keep manual track of the bearing and range to two targets simultaneously. We have used this feature occasionally when boating in fog.
I use MARPA to check speed on other boats especially in no wake zones
I have found the speed read out to be very inaccurate even on my new digital radar and heading sensor.
What Radar do you have that gives inaccurate speed readings?
