Description

The Garmin GMR Fantom 18x packs solid-state radar performance into a compact 18-inch radome. Using 50 W of CHIRP pulse-compression power, it delivers excellent target separation and detection from just 6 m out to 48 nautical miles, all without the warm-up time required by magnetron radars.

MotionScope Doppler technology uses the Doppler effect to detect and highlight moving targets in colour, helping you avoid collisions, locate flocks of birds and track approaching weather at a glance. A 5.2-degree horizontal beamwidth and antenna rotation of up to 60 RPM keep the radar picture crisp and fast to update.

The radome connects over Garmin BlueNet and Garmin Marine Network and is controlled entirely from a compatible Garmin chartplotter. This black-housing variant is built for life on the water and operates from -25 to 55 C.

Is the GMR Fantom 18x a solid-state radar?
Yes. It is a solid-state CHIRP pulse-compression radar with 50 W peak power output and MotionScope Doppler technology, so there is no magnetron warm-up time.
What is the maximum range of the Fantom 18x?
The radar detects targets from a minimum of 6 m (20 ft) out to a maximum of 48 nautical miles.
How fast does the antenna rotate?
The antenna rotates at up to 60 RPM, which gives a fast on-screen redraw rate.
What is the difference between the black and white Fantom 18x?
The radar performance is identical. The black housing variant has an operating temperature range of -25 to 55 C, whereas the white housing variant is rated from -25 to 70 C.
Which networks does the Fantom 18x use?
It uses Garmin BlueNet networking technology and is compatible with both Garmin BlueNet and Garmin Marine Network devices.
What is the compass-safe distance?
The compass-safe distance for the 18x radome is 97 cm (38 in).
