Welcome to Part 1 of this two-part training series with Alan Denham, originally delivered live for Ardent Training students and now available as a recording.

In this episode, Alan breaks down the fundamentals of radar in a clear and practical way. He explains what radar is, how it works, the different types of radar you'll come across, and the key components that make up a radar system. Along the way, he covers important radar terminology, discusses its limitations, and shares plenty of useful tips to help you get the best out of your equipment.

Don't forget to check out Part 2, where Alan turns his attention to AIS and how it works alongside radar to enhance situational awareness and navigation safety.
