What customers say
Mariners highly praise the Furuno DRS6ANXT radar for its superior performance and safety enhancements. The solid-state technology delivers instant-on capability, eliminating warm-up delays crucial for immediate situational awareness. The integrated Target Analyzer Doppler function is a standout feature, clearly distinguishing approaching and receding targets, which significantly reduces operator fatigue in poor visibility. Users consistently report exceptional target separation and clarity from the 4-foot array. While the initial cost is high, the advanced safety features, robust build quality, and low power consumption provide strong long-term value for serious offshore use. The system's performance justifies the premium investment.
Know before you buy
Solid State Doppler technology eliminates the need for a magnetron, resulting in faster startup times and lower power consumption. It also allows the radar to instantly identify and color-code moving targets, making it much easier to distinguish between hazards and stationary objects.
Bird Mode automatically adjusts the radar's gain and sea clutter settings to specifically detect flocks of birds feeding on the surface. This helps you locate active bait schools and potential fishing hotspots from a greater distance.
The DRS6ANXT is designed for seamless integration with Furuno TZtouch series multi-function displays. If you are using an older Furuno system, you should verify compatibility with your specific MFD model before purchasing.
The 4-foot open array provides a much narrower horizontal beamwidth of 1.85 degrees. This results in significantly better target separation and resolution, allowing you to distinguish between two objects that are close together at a distance.
No, the DRS6ANXT connects directly to a 12VDC or 24VDC power source. It is a self-contained unit that simplifies installation by reducing the amount of external hardware required.
Yes, it features advanced ARPA tracking capabilities that allow you to monitor up to 100 targets simultaneously. The True Trail feature further assists by showing the historical path of these targets, helping you visualize their heading and speed.
