Garmin GMR Fantom 256 Radar

THE POWER TO SEE MORE

GMR Fantom 256 is the most powerful 6 consumer solid-state radar.

The GMR Fantom 256, our most powerful 6 solid-state radars, feature 250 W of power. They use MotionScope technology to detect and highlight moving targets in different colors, which helps you avoid potential collisions, find flocks of birds and track weather. New MARPA Automatic Acquisition allows for triggering and tracking with no user prompting on all returns, boundary zones, guard zones or MotionScope. Scan-to-scan averaging, a new feature, helps aid in reduction of sea clutter and interference. Its Pulse Compression technology provides high-resolution imaging and maximizes energy to help you detect and identify targets. Auto Bird Gain helps you identify flocks of birds on the water. The GMR Fantom 256 radar have a detection range of 20 to 96 nautical miles.

Features:

• Weve got the power. 250 watts of it to be exact.


• Know the long and short of it with a detection range of 20 to 96 nautical miles.


• MotionScope highlights everything that moves so there are no surprises.


• The more the merrier with MARPA. Keep track of up to 30 moving targets.


• Clear the clutter with scan-to-scan averaging.

MotionScope Technology

Detect and highlight moving targets in different colors to help avoid collisions, find flocks of birds and track weather from 20 to 96 nautical miles.

Automatic Acquisition

New mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) automatic acquisition allows for triggering and tracking of up to 30 targets with no user prompting on all returns, boundary zones, guard zones or MotionScope.

Clear The Way

Scan-to-scan averaging aids in reduction of sea clutter and interference, so you have a clear view of whats out there.
