Garmin GMX Fantom™ 25X Pedestal Only

GMX Fantom 25X Pedestal Only 

GMR Fantom series radar pedestal includes 15 meter power and network cables. 4′ or 6′ antenna sold separately. 

Pulse Compression technology provides high resolution while maximizing energy in order to enhance detection and identification of targets. You get excellent close- and long-range target detection ranging from as close as 20 feet to 72 nautical miles, even in fog or rain. Its narrow 1.8 degree horizontal beamwidth provides a high-resolution image and high antenna gain so it can pick out weak targets at a distance. The result is this radar paints a clear, concise image of the shoreline, other vessels and impending weather — right on your Garmin chartplotter. 

You get consistent target positions, excellent target separation and reliable operation. Its 8-bit true color imagery also helps you discriminate large targets from small ones and enhances target separation. Rotation speed of up to 48 rpm provides fast screen updates. The GMR Fantom uses the Doppler effect to detect and highlight moving targets to help you avoid potential collisions, find flocks of birds and track weather formations. The Doppler effect is the frequency shift in the radar echo due to the relative motion of the target. This allows for instant detection of any targets moving toward or away from the radar. 

MotionScope highlights the moving targets on the radar display so you can navigate around other boats or severe weather — or toward fishing spots where birds are feeding at the surface. Pulse Expansion maximizes target size to help differentiate real targets from noise and provides a visually larger sized target on the chartplotter. Fishermen know, when you find birds at the water’s surface, you’ll also find fish. 

To further improve your fishing experience, use Auto Bird Gain, which helps to locate flocks of birds at the water’s surface where baitfish are also likely to be found. A fading “trail” is left on the screen to help you quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats. Trails are corrected for your boat’s rotation when an autopilot or heading sensor is connected to your Garmin network. The single radar antenna is capable of providing split screen images on your chartplotter side-by-side, with independent range setting and controls for both close and long range. Provides redundancy and the ability for each display unit on the boat to select data from 1 of 2 different radar sources. 

Dynamic Auto Gain automatically adjusts to your surroundings for optimal performance in all conditions. Dynamic Sea Filter automatically adjusts gain to changing sea conditions with user options for low, medium or high filtering. Radar overlay overlays the radar image on the chartplotter’s map page. An autopilot or heading sensor is recommended for best results. Mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) tracks up to 10 selected targets, helping you keep track of other vessels and avoid collisions. Use Guard Zone to set the safety zone and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone. Variable range markers (VRM) and electronic bearing lines (EBL) allow rapid measurements of distance and bearing to vessels and land.
