Raymarine QUANTUM 18” radar

Description

CHIRP pulse compression

Exclusive Raymarine ATX™ advanced target separation technology displays targets such as boats, landmarks, rocks, buoys and weather cells with unsurpassed resolution and separation quality.

– Excellent short-range detection and improved target detail with a minimum range of 18′ (6m).
– CHIRP Pulse Compression ensures that more radar energy reaches each target, resulting in superior imaging at long distances
– Quantum’s CHIRP Pulse Compression technology identifies small, weak targets, even when they are close to strong returns.

Product features:

Momentary awareness
– Quantum solid-state technology is ready to use in a few seconds, without a long warm-up period.

Simplified installation
– Upgrading your radar system has never been more convenient. With the same screw pattern as the previous generation, installation is easy. Plus, with the optional Quantum adapter cable, you can forget about the hassle of installing new radar cables. The slim cable design fits tight spaces, simplifying the upgrade process and saving you time and effort.

Energy efficient and light
– Experience a revolution in navigation technology with Quantum’s solid state radar, which is incredibly light and 50% heavier than conventional magnetron radars. With an impressively low power consumption of just 17 watts when transmitting and 7 watts when idle, Quantum ensures that your boat’s battery life is maximized, especially critical when sailing, enabling longer, worry-free voyages.
