Garmin GMR CHIRP 2106 — 6-Foot Open-Array Radar Antenna
The GMR CHIRP 2106 is a 6-foot open-array antenna for Garmin’s solid-state CHIRP radar system — a significant step up from traditional magnetron-based radar in both technology and performance. Solid-state CHIRP radar transmits a continuous, frequency-modulated signal rather than high-power pulses, delivering superior target separation at close range, instant-on operation with no warm-up time, and a longer service life with no magnetron tube to replace.
The 6-foot array provides the beam sharpness and target resolution needed for offshore navigation, busy shipping lanes, and demanding weather conditions. It integrates with compatible Garmin GPSMAP chartplotters via the Garmin Marine Network, overlaying radar returns directly on chart data for a clear, combined situational picture.
Note: This is the antenna (top assembly) only. The GMR CHIRP 2106 radar pedestal is required and sold separately.

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: The GMR CHIRP 2106 is the right choice for serious offshore boaters, larger cruisers, and sportfishers who want the best available radar performance in a Garmin system. The solid-state CHIRP technology delivers meaningfully better close-range target separation than the GMR xHD2 magnetron radar — particularly useful in crowded anchorages, harbour approaches, and when tracking small targets like lobster pot buoys or debris at short range. The instant-on capability is a practical advantage for day sailors and coastal cruisers who don’t want to wait for a magnetron to warm up before getting underway. If you’re deciding between the GMR xHD2 and the GMR CHIRP 2106, the CHIRP system is the premium choice for close-range performance and long-term reliability; the xHD2 is the more cost-effective option for standard offshore and coastal use. Confirm your Garmin chartplotter supports the Garmin Marine Network and is compatible with the GMR CHIRP 2106 before ordering.
Installation Note: The 6-foot array requires a sturdy radar arch or mast mount rated for the antenna’s weight and wind load. Professional installation is recommended for optimal alignment and cable routing.
Estimated Packaging: Long carton approximately 80" × 12" × 8" (203 × 30 × 20 cm), approx. 10 kg shipped. Oversized shipping rates may apply.
