Furuno DRS12ANXT/6 Radar Pedestal 6' Array - 15M Cable

Discover Superior Marine Radar Performance

Equip your vessel with the Furuno DRS12ANXT/6, a powerhouse solid-state radar system featuring a robust 6-foot open array antenna and a generous 15-meter cable. Designed for seamless integration with NavNet TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 multifunction displays, this radar pedestal delivers unmatched clarity and reliability on the water. Whether you're navigating foggy inlets, tracking schools of fish at dawn, or steering clear of sudden squalls, its advanced solid-state technology ensures you see more, react faster, and stay safer.

Solid-state radars like the DRS12ANXT/6 outperform traditional magnetrons with instant-on power, zero warm-up time, and pulse compression for razor-sharp target discrimination—even in clutter-heavy environments. The 6-foot array provides extended range and finer resolution, ideal for larger boats chasing offshore adventures or commercial operations demanding precision.

Standout Capabilities That Elevate Your Boating Experience

• Target Analyzer™ Technology: Instantly flags potential hazards by coloring approaching targets red, giving you split-second awareness to maneuver confidently.
• Fast Target Tracking™: Locks onto moving objects and vectors their speed and course in seconds, simplifying collision avoidance and pursuit.
• Bird Mode Optimization: Automatically tunes gain and sea clutter settings to spotlight avian flocks, a game-changer for sportfishing pros spotting bait balls from afar.
• Rain Mode Clarity: Transforms heavy downpours into blue-shaded zones, letting you maintain target visibility and plot safe paths around storms.
• ARPA Radar Tracking: Monitors up to 100 targets per sweep with automatic radar plotting aid, rivaling professional-grade systems for crowded waterways.
• Exceptional Close-Range Detail: Detects small objects like kayaks or debris as close as 15 meters, enhancing safety in marinas and channels.

Real-World Applications for Every Voyager

Anglers swear by the DRS12ANXT/6's bird detection for pinpointing fish hotspots miles out. Coastal cruisers rely on its rain-piercing prowess during unpredictable weather shifts. And long-range cruisers appreciate the 6-foot array's horizon-scanning reach, spotting vessels or obstacles before they become threats. Pair it with your TZtouch setup for a unified chartplotter-radar interface that feels intuitive from the first power-up.

Installation is straightforward for marine techs: the included 15-meter cable minimizes signal loss, and the pedestal's compact design fits most radomes without deck modifications. Its low power draw suits battery-conscious setups, while digital signal processing cuts noise for cleaner images day or night.

Why Solid-State Excels in Demanding Conditions

Unlike older radars prone to arcing and downtime, the DRS12ANXT/6's GaN (Gallium Nitride) solid-state transmitter runs cooler, lasts longer, and compresses radar pulses for superior resolution at all ranges. X-band frequency slices through sea clutter like a knife, revealing nuances that magnetron units blur. Expect vibrant echoes on your MFD, with zero pixelation or ghosting—even in high seas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Furuno DRS12ANXT/6 different from standard radars?

It uses solid-state technology for instant operation, advanced target analysis, and modes like Bird and Rain that adapt automatically, providing clearer images and faster insights than traditional magnetron radars.

Is the DRS12ANXT/6 compatible with all NavNet systems?

Yes, it's optimized for NavNet TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 MFDs, offering plug-and-play integration for seamless radar overlay on charts.

How does Bird Mode help with fishing?

Bird Mode fine-tunes settings to detect flocks over fish schools, helping anglers locate bait and predators from long distances without manual adjustments.

Can this radar track multiple targets at once?

Absolutely—ARPA functionality tracks up to 100 targets simultaneously, displaying vectors for speed and course to prevent collisions.

What's the advantage of the 6-foot array?

The larger 6-foot XN13A/6 antenna boosts range, resolution, and beam focus, perfect for offshore use where spotting distant objects early is crucial.

Does it perform well in rain or heavy seas?

Rain Mode isolates precipitation, turning it blue while keeping targets sharp. Pulse compression excels at rejecting sea clutter for reliable performance.

How long is the included cable?

The DRS12ANXT/6 comes with a 15-meter signal cable, offering flexible routing from pedestal to your display unit.
