Garmin GMR Fantom 256 Radar, White

The Garmin GMR Fantom 256 is a 250W open-array radar capable of displaying targets from 6 meters up to 154km, even in fog or rain. The 1.25° horizontal beamwidth provides high resolution and strong antenna gain, while the MotionScope (Doppler effect) technology highlights moving targets in different colors for quick and safe interpretation. The 24/48 RPM rotation speeds cover both low power consumption and fast screen refresh rates, and operation remains intuitive without complicated settings.

Key Features:

• Transmit power 250W, range 6 m – 154km;
• 1.25° horizontal / 23° vertical beamwidth for top resolution and detection of weak targets at long distance;
• MotionScope (Doppler) to highlight moving targets and avoid collisions or track flocks of birds;
• Rotation speeds of 24 RPM (power saving) and 48 RPM (quick refresh);
• Intuitive operation with no complex user settings;
• Adjustable target size directly on the radar image;
• Automatic bird gain for quick location of feeding areas at the surface;
• Echo Trails for displaying movement over time and identifying potential hazards;
• Dual range display on split screen: simultaneous short-range and long-range viewing from the same antenna;
• Compatibility with dual radar for redundancy and alternative data sources on each display;
• Dynamic auto gain with presets for port, shore, and open sea;
• Dynamic Sea Filter for calm, moderate, or difficult sea conditions;
• Radar overlay on chartplotter map (recommended with autopilot or optional heading sensor);
• MARPA target tracking for 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: white.
