Know before you buy
Broadband FMCW technology provides superior short-range target detection and resolution, allowing you to see objects as close as 32 meters. It also eliminates the 'main bang' or blind spot around the boat, making it much safer for navigating in tight harbors or crowded marinas.
No, the Broadband 4G radar features 'InstantOn' capability. It is ready to transmit immediately from standby mode, so you don't have to wait for a magnetron to warm up when you need situational awareness quickly.
Yes, the unit supports simultaneous dual-range operation. This allows you to monitor distant weather or navigation marks on one range while keeping a close-range view of nearby traffic on another.
Absolutely. Because it uses FMCW technology, it emits extremely low power levels and poses zero radiation hazard. This makes it safe to install on vessels where the radar must be mounted near crew areas or on smaller masts.
The integrated MARPA (Mini-Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) function allows you to track up to 10 targets simultaneously. This is highly effective for monitoring the speed and heading of other vessels in your vicinity.
The radar is highly efficient, with a maximum power consumption of only 18W. It is designed to operate on a 9-31V DC power supply, making it suitable for a wide range of marine electrical systems.
