With MotionScope Doppler technology, it distinguishes moving targets from stationary clutter — highlighting vessels, birds, and weather in real time on a compatible Garmin chartplotter. Solid-state technology means instant-on operation, lower power consumption, and no magnetron to replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid-State Doppler Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e — No magnetron; instant-on operation, lower power draw, and longer service life compared to traditional magnetron radar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotionScope Doppler\u003c\/strong\u003e — Uses the Doppler effect to detect and highlight moving targets — other vessels, birds, and precipitation — in a distinct colour overlay on the radar display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18-Inch Radome\u003c\/strong\u003e — Compact dome form factor suitable for vessels where a larger open-array antenna is impractical; ideal for powerboats and sailboats with limited mast or arch space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40W Equivalent Transmit Power\u003c\/strong\u003e — High-performance solid-state output for reliable target detection at range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 48 Nautical Mile Range\u003c\/strong\u003e — Extended range capability for offshore and coastal passage-making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarmin Marine Network Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e — Connects directly to compatible Garmin GPSMAP and Axiom chartplotters via Garmin Marine Network cable; no additional interface required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNMEA 2000 Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e — Integrates with NMEA 2000 network for system-wide data sharing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Auto Gain\u003c\/strong\u003e — Automatically adjusts gain for optimal target presentation in changing sea and weather conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Radome Housing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Standard white finish for clean integration with most vessel superstructures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Use Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e The GMR Fantom 18x is the ideal radar for mid-size to larger powerboats and sailboats (typically 28 ft+) running a Garmin helm system where a compact dome is preferred over an open-array antenna. The solid-state Doppler and MotionScope technology make it particularly well-suited for vessels operating in busy shipping lanes, areas with heavy bird activity, or where weather radar overlay is a priority. Pairs directly with Garmin GPSMAP and Axiom chartplotters via Garmin Marine Network for seamless radar overlay on the chart display. Step up to an open-array antenna if maximum range and bearing resolution are the priority; the 18x dome is the right choice when installation space is the constraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires a Garmin Marine Network cable connection to a compatible Garmin chartplotter (cable sold separately). Requires 12V DC power. Mount on a radar arch, mast, or hardtop with a clear 360° view. Minimum safe distance from crew areas must be observed during operation — refer to Garmin installation manual for exclusion zone specifications.
