Garmin GMR Fantom 256 Radar, Black

The Garmin GMR Fantom 256 is a 250W open-array radar capable of displaying targets from 6 meters up to 154 km, even in fog or rain. The 1.25° horizontal beamwidth offers high resolution and strong antenna gain, while MotionScope technology (Doppler effect) highlights moving targets in different colors for quick and safe interpretation. Rotation speeds of 24/48 RPM cover both low power consumption and fast screen updates, with intuitive operation and no complicated settings.

Key Features:

• 250W transmit power, range 6 m – 154 km;
• 1.25° horizontal / 23° vertical beamwidth for top resolution and identification of weak targets at distance;
• MotionScope (Doppler) to highlight moving targets and avoid collisions or track bird flocks;
• Rotation speeds of 24 RPM (power saving) and 48 RPM (fast refresh);
• Intuitive operation with no complex user settings;
• Adjustable target size directly on the radar image;
• Automatic bird gain for quick localization of surface feeding areas;
• Echo trails to display movement over time and identify potential hazards;
• Dual range display on split screen: simultaneous short-range and long-range from the same antenna;
• Compatibility with dual radar for redundancy and alternate data sources on each display;
• Dynamic automatic gain with presets for port, shore, and open sea;
• Dynamic sea filter for calm, moderate, or rough conditions;
• Radar overlay on chartplotter maps (autopilot or optional heading sensor recommended);
• MARPA target tracking, up to 30 selected targets (requires heading sensor, sold separately);
• Guard zone with alarm when an object enters the defined perimeter;
• VRM and EBL for quick distance and bearing measurements;
• Color: black.
