Garmin GMR Fantom 124 Open Array and Pedestal in White FAQs

• What is the primary benefit of the 120-watt power output? The 120W output provides superior target tracking and a maximum detection range of 96 nautical miles, ensuring high-resolution imaging even in difficult conditions like fog or heavy rain.
• How does MotionScope™ technology assist with navigation? It uses the Doppler effect to highlight moving targets in different colours: targets moving toward you are typically red, while those moving away are green, aiding in collision avoidance.
• Can it detect birds for fishing? Yes. The Auto Bird Gain feature helps locate flocks of birds at the water's surface, which often indicates the presence of baitfish.
• Is it compatible with my current chartplotter? It is compatible with modern Garmin network-capable chartplotters. It supports Radar Overlay, allowing you to see radar data directly on your map page.
• What are the rotation speed options? The radar offers dual rotation speeds: 24 RPM for reduced power consumption and 48 RPM for faster screen updates during rapid manoeuvres.
• What is required for MARPA target tracking? To track up to 30 selected targets using MARPA, an optional heading sensor (sold separately) is required.
