Furuno RSB137-125 12kW Pedestal DRS12ANXT

Upgrade your vessel's navigation with the robust Furuno RSB137-125 12kW pedestal, the powerhouse gearbox unit designed specifically for the DRS12ANXT radar antenna. Engineered for serious mariners who demand precision and reliability in challenging sea conditions, this unit delivers solid-state radar performance that sets a new standard for target detection and clutter rejection.

Superior Solid-State Radar Technology

The RSB137-125 integrates Furuno's NXT-series innovations, harnessing adaptive digital signal processing to provide instantaneous target updates. Unlike traditional magnetron radars, this 12kW solid-state system minimizes warm-up time, enabling you to power up and scan within seconds. It's ideal for spotting small vessels, debris, or even bird flocks at distances up to impressive ranges, enhancing your situational awareness during night watches or foggy passages.

• Fast Target Acquisition: Locks onto moving objects in under a second, crucial for collision avoidance in busy shipping lanes.
• Advanced Clutter Suppression: Automatically adjusts to rain, sea state, or wave action, delivering a cleaner picture without manual tweaks.
• Low Power Draw: Efficient operation conserves your boat's battery, perfect for extended offshore adventures.

Built for Harsh Marine Environments

Crafted with marine-grade materials, the RSB137-125 withstands corrosion, vibration, and extreme weather. Its sealed gearbox design protects internal components from saltwater intrusion, ensuring years of trouble-free service. Boaters report unmatched durability during heavy storms or prolonged exposure to UV and salt spray, making it a trusted choice for commercial fishing fleets, yacht owners, and coast guard operations.

Real-world feedback highlights its edge over older pulse-compression radars: sharper resolution at short ranges means you spot buoys and kayaks sooner, reducing close-call incidents.

Seamless Integration with NavNet Systems

This pedestal pairs effortlessly with Furuno's NavNet TZtouch and TZtouch3 chartplotters, overlaying radar data on charts for intuitive ARPA target tracking. It supports dual-RD networking, allowing multiple antennas for 360-degree coverage without interference—essential for larger vessels maneuvering in tight marinas.

Effortless Setup and Long-Term Reliability

Installation is straightforward for seasoned installers: the compact footprint fits most radomes, and plug-and-play Ethernet connectivity simplifies cabling. Routine maintenance involves basic cleaning and firmware updates via Furuno's software, keeping your system cutting-edge. Pair it with the DRS12ANXT radome for a complete radar solution that evolves with your boating needs.
