RD418HD 4kW HD Digital Radome Scanner

 

Product number: E92142

Overview

Raymarine’s new HD Digital radome scanners combine the power and clarity of HD Digital signal processing with an ultra-compact scanner suitable for all types of vessels. Compatible with C-Series Widescreen, E-Series Classic, E-Series Widescreen and G-Series Multifunction Displays, these radomes offer a 256-colour radar display and the clearest, most lifelike radome presentation available from any radome scanner.

The RD418HD feature the same adaptive digital receiver technology found in our open array antennas. By adjusting automatically to changing environmental and sea conditions, the HD Digital radomes provide crisp, accurate contact echoes at short ranges, as well as outstanding long range performance up to 48 nautical miles.

 

Features

  • Adaptive digital receiver automatically adjusts to changing environmental and see conditions for a dramatically clearer picture
  • Fast digital receiver processor
  • 256 colour multi-level target display with selectable color palettes
  • New Bird Mode automatically optimizes the receiver for detecting sea birds above schools of fish
  • New High Speed Mode (48 RPM) automatically engages for optimal tracking of high speed targets at short ranges
  • Dual-range mode allow you to monitor both long and short ranges simultaneously with a single scanner and display
