Garmin GMR Fantom 56 Radar, White

The Garmin GMR Fantom 56 is a 50 W open-array radar designed for maximum target clarity and fast screen updates in any weather conditions. The narrow 1.25° beamwidth delivers high resolution at long distances, while the MotionScope™ Doppler-based technology highlights moving targets in color for safe and precise maneuvers.

With 24 RPM modes for low power consumption and 48 RPM for accelerated refresh (at settings ≤12 NM), plus pulse compression for superior definition, the Fantom 56 delivers top performance without complicated settings.

Key Features
