Garmin GMR™ 2524 xHD2 Open Array Radar and Pedestal

Garmin GMR™ 2524 xHD2 Open Array Radar and Pedestal

This incredibly powerful open-array radar is perfect for cruising and fishing offshore, overnight and in foggy, limited or no-visibility conditions  especially on yachts and sport fishing boats under 40’.

   Serious seafarers like you need serious range — up to 96 nautical miles.

   See targets in incredible detail, even at a distance.

   Add even more detail to your maps with radar overlay — even in a split-screen view.

   See flocks of birds on the water, and find baitfish below.

   Maximize energy, and increase target size with pulse expansion.

HIGH-POWERED RADAR

This open-array radar delivers 25-kW transmit power and clear echo definition at all ranges. It has rotation speeds of 24 and 48 RPM with a max range scale of 96 nautical miles.

HIGH-RESOLUTION RADAR

The 1.8-degree horizontal beamwidth provides a high-resolution image and high antenna gain to pick out targets at a distance, while 8-bit true color imagery enhances target separation.

INTUITIVE OPERATION

This radar doesn’t have any complex user settings to deal with, so it’s easy to install and start using.

PULSE EXPANSION

Increase the duration of the transmit pulse, which helps maximize the energy on targets. This provides larger target size on the chartplotter.

AUTO BIRD GAIN

Locate flocks of birds at the water’s surface where baitfish are also likely to be found.

ECHO TRAILS

A historical “trail” is left on the screen to help you quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats.

DUAL RANGE

Single radar antenna is capable of providing split-screen images on your chartplotter for both close and long range.

DUAL-RADAR SUPPORT

Using dual radar provides redundancy and allows each display unit on the boat to pull data from one of two different radar sources.

DYNAMIC AUTO GAIN

Gain automatically adjusts levels to optimum settings for harbors, near shore and offshore in open waters.

DYNAMIC SEA FILTER

Gain automatically adjusts sea clutter for calm, medium and rough sea conditions.

RADAR OVERLAY

Overlay radar images onto your chartplotter’s map page. You can add an optional autopilot or heading sensor (sold separately) for best results.

MARPA TARGET TRACKING

Mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) tracks up to 30 selected targets, helping you keep track of other vessels and avoid collisions.

GUARD ZONE

Set the safety zone, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.

VRM AND EBL

Variable range markers (VRM) and electronic bearing lines (EBL) allow rapid measurements of distance and bearing to vessels and land.

DUAL RANGE WITH OVERLAY

Single radar antenna is capable of providing split-screen images on your chartplotter side by side, with independent range setting and controls for both close and long range. One or both ranges can also be viewed as a chart overlay.
