Furuno DRS12AX 12kW UHD Digital Radar - Less Antenna & Cable

The Furuno DRS12AX 12kW UHD Digital Radar represents the next generation of marine radar technology for serious offshore and inshore boaters. This X-Class radar system delivers advanced detection capabilities with improved short-range performance and extended long-range detection reaching up to 96 nautical miles, giving you complete situational awareness in all weather conditions. Offered without antenna and cable, this configuration allows experienced mariners to integrate the pedestal and processor unit with existing mast systems or customize installation for specific vessel requirements.

The DRS12AX pedestal unit has been redesigned 20% lighter than previous Furuno models while featuring an updated motor engineered for improved reliability and reduced power consumption. At 12 kilowatts transmission power, this radar cuts through interference and precipitation with the processing speed needed for fast-moving targets and precise coastal navigation. The UHD (Ultra High Definition) digital processing enhances target definition and reduces clutter, critical for distinguishing small fishing vessels, buoys, and hazards when operating in congested waterways or challenging sea states.

This radar suits weekend offshore anglers monitoring weather systems and locating structure at distance, as well as commercial and serious recreational captains requiring professional-grade detection. Coastal and inland boaters benefit from the improved short-range resolution when navigating narrow channels, approaching unfamiliar docks, or maintaining separation in traffic. The pedestal-only configuration appeals to marine electronics integrators, service technicians, and boat owners upgrading existing radar systems without replacing functional antenna assemblies.

Furuno's DRS12AX radar technology is widely recognized among professional mariners for solid-state architecture and integration with modern marine navigation systems. This model represents a platform that rewards proper installation and regular maintenance with consistent performance across thousands of operating hours.
