Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 4-foot Fantom array better than shorter options?
The longer 4-foot length provides a narrower beam width for finer target discrimination and greater maximum range, perfect for open-water scanning without sacrificing close-range detail.
Is this antenna compatible with all Fantom radars?
It's designed for specific Fantom open array models—check your radar processor for exact fit to ensure plug-and-play integration.
How does MotionIQ work with this array?
MotionIQ uses advanced algorithms to filter moving targets like boats from static ones like docks, decluttering your display for clearer situational awareness.
What's the ideal mounting height for best performance?
Mount at least 8-12 feet above the waterline to reduce sea clutter interference and maximize horizon visibility.
Does it require special maintenance in saltwater environments?
Rinse periodically with fresh water and inspect cables seasonally; its rugged construction handles UV and corrosion effectively with minimal upkeep.
Can I use this for night navigation?
Absolutely—its high-resolution imaging excels in darkness, revealing unlit vessels and debris that lights alone might miss.
How fast does the array rotate?
Up to 48 RPM, providing fluid, real-time updates comparable to professional-grade systems.
