Know before you buy
No, this listing is for the GMX Fantom 25X pedestal only. You will need to purchase a compatible open array antenna separately to complete the radar system.
The GMX Fantom 25X is designed to integrate with most modern Garmin marine displays. We recommend checking your specific chartplotter's compatibility list on the Garmin website to ensure full functionality before purchasing.
Solid-state technology allows for faster startup times and lower power consumption compared to traditional magnetron radars. It also provides more consistent target detection and requires less maintenance over the life of the unit.
This unit is sold as the pedestal component only. You will likely need to source the appropriate power and data cables separately based on your specific vessel's installation requirements.
While the pedestal provides the raw data for situational awareness, the target tracking capabilities are determined by the software and processing power of the Garmin display it is connected to. Ensure your display supports the specific tracking features you require.
