Crystal clear image: Miss none of your immediate
surroundings. Fantastic for tight manoeuvres in
tight/crowded areas or in conditions of limited visibility.
Unparalleled performance in heavy snow conditions.
InstantOn™: Solid-state technology produces an
immediate, accurate on-screen image.
Low power consumption: Broadband radar requires
very little power: ideal for all types and sizes of boat.
Extremely low emissions: This safest of radars means
it can be mounted anywhere. Broadband radar has lower
emissions than a mobile phone.
Quick installation: No reason to open the dome, no tune
or zero mile adjustment, and best of all – no radar-
licensed technician required.
Very low life cycle cost - no maintenance required

Only possible at this range as broadband radar has no main
pulse suppression that a conventional radar suffers from.
Possible to see targets close together and yet they are
clearly shown as separate targets.
At short ranges the Broadband Radar is showing up the indi-
vidual yachts in their berths, ideal at night when visibility may
be compromised. In this type of situation conventional radar
would only show a merged target possibly obscured by the
main pulse.
Four posts to starboard with two yachts clearly visible behind
Vacant berths in a marina are easily identified
At 16nm and less the BR24 has from 1X to 5X more the
range discrimination ability to see those smaller targets than
conventional 2kW pulse radars.
Range discrimination is a measure of the radar’s ability to
distinguish closely spaced targets on the sample bearing.
FMCW technology provides unsurpassed performance for your
maximum safety and precise navigation. At 16nm and less the
BR24 has from 1X to 5X more the range discrimination ability
to see those smaller targets than conventional 2kW pulse
radars. This greatly improves your situational awareness.
