GMR Fantom™ 256 Radar – Black

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

Features:

• MotionScope™ highlights everything that moves so there are no surprises
• GMR Fantom brings the power (250 watts of it)
• Know the long and short of it with a detection range of 20’ to 96 nautical miles
• The more the merrier with MARPA. Keep track of up to 30 moving targets
• Clear the clutter with scan-to-scan averaging

Motionscope Technology

MotionScope uses the Doppler effect to detect moving targets and highlight them in different colors so users can navigate around other boats or severe weather — or toward fishing spots where birds feed at the surface.

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 the reduction of sea clutter and interference, so users have a clear view of what’s out there.

Auto Bird Gain

Locate flocks of birds at the water’s surface where baitfish are also likely to be found

Pulse Compression

This feature provides high-resolution imaging while maximizing energy to enhance target detection and identification.

Echo Trails

A historical “trail” is left on the screen to help users quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats.

Radar Overlay

Overlay radar images onto a chart plotter’s map page. Users can add an optional autopilot or heading sensor (sold separately) for best results.

Dynamic Sea Filter

Dynamic Sea Filter automatically adjusts gain to calm, medium, and rough sea conditions.

Guard Zone

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