Product Information
The GMR Fantom 256 is one of the most advanced radars around, and it can punch through the atmosphere from 20 feet out to 96 miles with its 250 watts of power. It also has a shockingly long list of features. Ready? MotionScope moving-target coloration, MARPA automatic acquisition, auto bird gain, pulse-compression high-res imaging, moving-target Echo Trails, overlay, Dynamic Sea Filter and Guard Zone (which raises an alarm when a target enters your personally set safety zone) are all on the list. There’s also a completely new feature called scan-to-scan averaging, which helps cut sea clutter and interference.
