  How it works
          Simply, C.A.R.D. is a passive instrument that reads transmitting radar. Properly installed, C.A.R.D. will receive signals from as far away as 5 - 8 nautical miles,with most merchant ship traffic.
CARD monitorFor example, a ship is heading towards you off the starboard beam. On the
C.A.R.D. monitor, the starboard display bar will light, indicating the direction.

If the ship heads to 135 degrees starboard, the starboard and aft lights will both shine -- again, indicating the direction.

                                                         Your permanent position is in the center, marked by a bright, green light.
