Know before you buy
No, the Furuno DRS4DNXT is a standalone radome. You will need to connect it to a compatible Furuno MFD (Multi-Function Display) to view your radar data.
Target Analyzer uses Doppler technology to automatically color-code targets. Approaching targets that pose a potential collision risk are highlighted in red, while stationary or receding targets are displayed in green, helping you quickly identify threats.
Yes, it includes a specialized Bird Mode. This setting automatically adjusts the radar's gain and clutter settings to help you detect flocks of birds, which are often a reliable indicator of active baitfish and game fish.
Not at all. Because it utilizes Solid-State pulse compression technology, the radar provides instant-on capability, meaning it is ready to transmit as soon as you power it up.
The DRS4DNXT is capable of automatically acquiring and tracking up to 100 targets simultaneously, providing a comprehensive view of surrounding vessel traffic.
Yes, the unit is designed for simplified installation and does not require an external power supply unit, making it easier to integrate into your boat's existing electrical setup.
