Garmin 6' GMR xHD3 Antenna

Enhance Your On-Water Safety and Navigation with Precision Radar Technology

Navigating busy waterways or open ocean demands radar that cuts through clutter and delivers crystal-clear targets, even in rain, fog, or at night. The Garmin GMR xHD3 6-foot antenna steps up as a powerhouse for serious boaters, offering high-definition imaging that reveals small objects like buoys, debris, or distant vessels with remarkable detail. Whether you're chasing game fish by spotting bird flocks or ensuring safe passage through congested harbors, this open-array radar transforms your chartplotter setup into a vigilant command center.

Superior Target Separation and Clarity

Powered by Garmin's advanced xHD3 pulse compression technology, this 6-foot radome excels at distinguishing close-in targets from sea clutter. Imagine separating a cluster of crab pots from breaking waves or picking out a kayaker amid choppy conditions—features like Dynamic Auto Gain and Dynamic Sea Clutter automatically adjust to deliver optimized images without constant tweaking. The narrow 1.1-degree horizontal beam width provides laser-like focus for long-range detection, ideal for larger vessels where every nautical mile counts.

Technical Specifications at a Glance

These specs make it a perfect fit for sportfishing yachts, offshore cruisers, or commercial boats needing reliable performance without excessive windage.

Real-World Performance That Builds Confidence

Boaters rave about how the xHD3 series handles real challenges: its high-resolution echoes help anglers locate bait balls by detecting diving birds up to 10 miles out, while collision avoidance shines in low visibility. Pair it with compatible Garmin multifunction displays for seamless integration, including overlay on charts, MARPA target tracking, and auto bird mode for effortless fishing prep. Unlike bulkier systems, this 6-foot design balances power with manageable mounting on most flybridges or hardtops.
