Halo 20+ radar shows up as Halo 18+ a or b

Just installed my new Halo 20+ radar and it shows up as Halo 18+ A and Halo 18+ B on my Zeus 2. They both work when I select them, but its kind of strange. What the heck is Halo 18+ and what is A or B? Anyone else have this issue?

Wow, am I the only one who sees this? Does anyone else have the Halo 20+ hooked up to a Zeus? I would love to hear what you see as the detected radar.

I believe you are seeing both operating ranges as separate radar units.

AFAIK this is the bug that makes the Halo and Zeus 2 incompatible enough to sell more Zues 3 S models

A and B is your dual range. IE you can split screen and have one screen use radar A at 1/2 mile and the other screen use radar B at 10 mile. and when you adjust the range on one the other doesn't move.

don't know why it's showing a 18 vrs 20. maybe update the plotter if you added a new radar to an older screen. it may not be able to reconize the new model with older software.
