Know before you buy
No, this product is the pedestal only. You will need to purchase a compatible Furuno open array antenna and the necessary interconnection cable separately to complete the system.
Target Analyzer™ automatically changes the color of radar echoes based on their movement. Targets approaching your vessel are highlighted in red, allowing you to instantly distinguish potential collision threats from stationary objects.
Solid-state technology is more reliable, requires no warm-up time, and offers significantly lower power consumption. It also allows for advanced signal processing like pulse compression, which provides clearer, more detailed target detection.
The DRS12ANXT is designed for a 24 VDC power supply. Please ensure your vessel's electrical system can support this requirement or use a compatible DC-to-DC converter.
RezBoost™ digitally processes the radar signal to sharpen the beam width. This results in higher target separation and a clearer, more defined image that performs similarly to much larger radar arrays.
Yes, with a maximum range of 96 nautical miles, this unit is well-suited for offshore navigation and long-range situational awareness.
