Garmin GMR 434 xHD3 4 Open Array Radar Pedestal - 4kW

Combining high-definition imaging with the latest Garmin platform technology, this robust 4’ open-array radar offer superior weather, obstacle and traffic detection for mariners cruising or fishing offshore. A first for Garmin magnetron radar, scan averaging helps filter out sea clutter and interference to enhance the detection and display of consistent targets. Pulse expansion and angular target-size processing techniques optimize on-screen object shapes for better interpretation at all range scales. The 100-knot wind-rated open-array antennas1 have rotation speeds of 24 and 48 RPM for fast redraw rates, with max range up to 96 nautical miles on the 25-kW versions (up to 72 nautical miles on the 4- and 12-kW versions).

• A historical “trail” of boats on the water is displayed on the screen, removing relative motion influence to help you quickly identify moving targets and potential collision threats.
• A single radar antenna is capable of providing split-screen, side-by-side images on your compatible chartplotter, with independent range setting and controls for both close and long range. Overlay either or both ranges on a chart.
• Gain automatically adjusts levels to optimum settings for harbors, near shore and offshore in open waters.
• See overlaid images on your chartplotter’s map screen (with appropriate sensors, sold separately).
• Pick out targets at a distance, thanks to narrow horizontal beamwidth and high antenna gain.
• This provides redundancy and allows each display unit to pull data from different sources.
• Radar gain automatically adjusts sea clutter for calm, medium and rough sea conditions.
• Locate flocks of birds at the water’s surface where baitfish are also likely to be found.
• Track up to 30 targets to help avoid collisions (with appropriate sensors, sold separately).
• Set the safety zone, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.
