Decca Radar TMS1230C True Motion S-Band 10cm Marine Radar System 65164 65165

The Decca Radar TMS1230C is a vintage True Motion S-Band (10cm) marine radar system manufactured in England. It consists of three primary units: the Type 65165 Display Console (Class B), the Type 65170 Transceiver (Class B), and the Type 65164 True Motion Unit. True Motion radar systems display both own-ship and target motion relative to a fixed geographic reference — a technology used aboard research and commercial vessels for navigation in open-ocean and polar environments. Research indicates this radar model was fitted aboard the Polar Duke, a vessel operated for Antarctic and Southern Ocean scientific research.
