Garmin GMR 18 xHD3 Radar Antenna
MAGNETRON SCANNING IN A COMPACT AND SOLID GARMIN RADOME
Equipped with advanced features usually found only on open arrays, these powerful 18” and 24” radomes offer more precise detection of marine traffic, obstacles and weather for peace of mind while on the water.
Radar antenna, light and resistant, offers a transmission power of 4 kW, and a dual range mode that allows you to navigate in extreme safety. In addition, the “No Transmit Zone” function allows you to select, in particular cases, a specific area of the radar sector and thus deactivate the chosen area.
By connecting the GMR 18 xHD3 antenna to a multifunction display and an optional heading sensor, you can take advantage of the MARPA function which allows you to obtain information on the navigation status of other vessels such as direction, course and speed, for up to 10 targets. at the same time.
Connecting to the network
The GMR 18 xHD antenna can be connected to the existing Garmin Marine Network in a 'plug and play' manner. Once connected, the multifunction displays of the onboard system can display the information coming from the antenna.
Performance:
NEW SCAN AVERAGING TECHNOLOGY
Scan averaging, a new feature for Garmin magnetron radar, filters out sea clutter and interference, providing better target detection and display.
ADJUSTING THE ANGLE TARGET SIZE
Pulse Expansion and angular target size processing optimize object shapes on the screen for better interpretation at all scales.
FASTER SCANNING ANTENNA
Spin speed up to 60 RPM improves re-shooting speed for faster target updates.
ECHO TRAIL FUNCTION
A “historical trail” of vessels through the water is displayed on screen, eliminating the relative influence of drift to help you quickly spot moving targets and potential collision threats.
DUAL RANGE WITH OVERLAY
A single radar antenna can provide side-by-side images on your chartplotter display with independent settings and controls for both short- and long-range coverage. Overlay one or both ranges on a chart.
DYNAMIC AUTO GAIN
Auto Gain technology automatically adjusts gain levels to the optimum for best viewing of marine, coastal and open water.
