New Scan Averaging Technology

A first for Garmin magnetron radar, scan averaging helps filter out sea clutter and interference to enhance the detection and display of consistent targets.

Angular Target-Size Adjustment

Pulse expansion and angular target-size processing techniques optimize on-screen object shapes for better interpretation at all range scales.

True Echo Trails

A historical trail of boats on the water is displayed on the screen, removing relative motion influence to help you quickly identify moving targets and potential collision threats.

Dual Range with Overlay

A single radar antenna is capable of providing split-screen, side-by-side images on your compatible chartplotter, with independent range setting and controls for both close and long range. Overlay either or both ranges on a chart.

Dynamic Auto Gain

Gain automatically adjusts levels to optimum settings for harbors, near shore and offshore in open waters.

Radar Overlay

See overlaid images on your chartplotters map screen (with appropriate sensors, sold separately).

High-Resolution Radar

Pick out targets at a distance, thanks to narrow horizontal beamwidth and high antenna gain.

Dual-Radar Support

This provides redundancy and allows each display unit to pull data from different sources.

Dynamic Sea Filter

Radar gain automatically adjusts sea clutter for calm, medium and rough sea conditions.

Auto Bird Gain

Locate flocks of birds at the waters surface where baitfish are also likely to be found.

MARPA Target Tracking

Track up to 30 targets to help avoid collisions (with appropriate sensors, sold separately).

Guard Zone

Set the safety zone, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.

Range and Bearing Cues

Variable range markers and electronic bearing lines allow rapid measurements of distance and bearing to vessels and land.

The Garmin GMR 1236 xHD3 6' open array radar offers mariners high-definition imaging combined with advanced Garmin platform technology, making it ideal for offshore cruising and fishing. Featuring a powerful 12kW transmitter and a range of up to 96 nautical miles, this radar provides superior weather, obstacle, and traffic detection to enhance safety and situational awareness on the water. Its robust design includes a quiet open-array drive motor and a commercial-grade wind rating of up to 100 knots with optional upgrades, ensuring reliability in demanding conditions.
Equipped with innovative features such as Scan Averaging Technology, the GMR 1236 xHD3 filters out sea clutter and interference, delivering clearer target detection. The angular target-size adjustment optimizes on-screen object shapes for easier interpretation across various ranges, while true echo trails display historical boat movements, assisting in quick identification of moving targets and potential collision threats. The dual-range capability allows split-screen views with independent range controls, providing simultaneous close and distant scans, which can be overlaid on your chartplotter for enhanced navigation.
Automatic gain adjustment, known as Dynamic Auto Gain, optimizes image clarity based on water conditions, from calm harbors to rough offshore waters. Radar overlay functionality integrates radar images with chart data on your compatible device, offering a comprehensive situational picture. The high-resolution antenna's narrow beamwidth and high gain enable precise target detection at long distances. Support for dual-radar sources ensures redundancy and flexibility in complex navigation scenarios.
The system includes features like Dynamic Sea Filter for clutter reduction, Auto Bird Gain to locate bird flocks associated with baitfish, and MARPA target tracking for up to 30 targets—helping to avoid collisions with nearby vessels. Guard zones can be established to trigger alarms when objects enter predefined safety areas, and range and bearing cues provide rapid measurements to vessels or land. Complete with mounting hardware, power, and network cables, the Garmin GMR 1236 xHD3 is a comprehensive radar solution designed for demanding marine environments.
Constructed with IPX6 waterproofing and capable of withstanding wind loads up to 80 knots (or 100 knots with optional upgrades), this system is built for durability. Its 72-inch antenna rotates at speeds of 24 or 48 RPM, providing clear and consistent scanning. Power consumption varies with operation, with a maximum transmit power of 12kW, ensuring robust performance during long voyages. Please note that 14-kW versions require additional optional equipment for full wind rating capabilities.
Overall, the Garmin GMR 1236 xHD3 6' open array radar with pedestal delivers reliable, high-performance detection and imaging for serious mariners seeking advanced navigation tools on the water.
