Key Features

• 50-Watt Power Output – Equipped with a solid-state 50-watt radar, the GMR Fantom delivers a powerful range from 20’ to 48 nautical miles, providing clear detection in even fog or rain. The radar has a 60 RPM rotation speed, ensuring fast updates and detection of moving targets at any speed.
• MotionScope™ Technology – This radar uses the Doppler effect to highlight moving targets in different colors, allowing you to avoid collisions, navigate through severe weather, or head toward fishing spots where birds are feeding at the surface.
• High-Resolution Radar – High antenna gain and high-resolution images provide clear identification of targets even at a distance, while 8-bit true color imagery enhances target separation, offering superior visibility.

Advanced Features for Efficiency

• Power Save Mode – The radar comes with a power-saving mode to give you control over when to use full power or conserve it. This feature ensures you have power when you need it, and can save energy during times when full power isn't required.
• Timed Transmit Mode – You can set specific transmit times down to the second, reducing unnecessary power consumption and extending battery life during long trips.
• Auto Bird Gain – Automatically detects flocks of birds on the water’s surface, where fish are likely to be found, helping you easily locate baitfish and improve your fishing experience.

Radar Features for Precise Navigation

• Target Size Adjustment – You can adjust the size of on-screen targets for better resolution, ensuring better separation based on your surroundings.
• Echo Trails – This feature displays historical trails of moving targets, helping you track their direction and speed, allowing for easier detection of potential collision threats.
• Dual Range – The radar antenna can provide split-screen images on your chartplotter for both close and long-range views, with independent range settings for each.
• Dual-Radar Support – The radar supports dual radar functionality, allowing each display unit to pull data from two different radar sources, providing redundancy and increased reliability.

Performance Enhancements

• Dynamic Auto Gain – Automatically adjusts the radar’s gain to provide optimal performance for different sea conditions, whether you're in harbors or open waters.
• Dynamic Sea Filter – Automatically adjusts radar gain to filter out sea clutter, making the radar more effective in calm, medium, or rough seas.
• Radar Overlay – You can overlay radar images onto your chartplotter’s map page for better situational awareness, with the option to add an autopilot or heading sensor for optimal navigation results.
• Automatic Acquisition – The MARPA (Mini-automatic Radar Plotting Aid) automatically triggers and tracks up to 30 targets without needing user prompts, making it easier to track moving objects like vessels or weather patterns.

Safety and Navigation Features

• Guard Zone – Create a safety zone around your boat, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone, helping you avoid potential collisions or hazards.
• VRM and EBL – Variable Range Markers (VRM) and Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL) allow you to quickly measure the distance and bearing of vessels and land features to better understand your surroundings.

User-Friendly Design

• Intuitive Operation – The GMR Fantom radar is designed to be easy to install and operate, without the need for complex settings, so you can start using it right away.
• Compact and Stylish – With a sleek dome design, the radar blends well with your boat, providing both high performance and a modern aesthetic.
