Furuno M-1623

THE RADAR HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. We suggest considering a replacement Furuno M-1815

The Furuno M-1623 radar is a reliable and high—quality device designed for small vessels. It is equipped with a powerful 2.2kW transmitter, a waterproof 6-inch LCD display and offers a choice of 13 range scales. The display resolution is 240 x 320 pixels, and the power supply is 12-24 V, 36 Watts.

The station displays targets in four grayscale colors and has a three-speed closed antenna with a diameter of 15 inches with the function of increasing the rotation speed on the near scales for more accurate identification of objects. Three transmitter pulse lengths and repetition rates are also available, a linear receiver with a noise factor of 10 dB and automatic receiver tuning.

Additional functions include sector radiation damping, rain interference suppression, afterglow indication and negative display image. The station supports the connection of a GPS/WAAS receiver and can be integrated with navigation equipment such as plotters and echo sounders.
