Garmin 4FT GMR Fantom Antenna Only Black

Unlock Superior Radar Performance with the Garmin 4ft Fantom Antenna

Enhance your marine navigation setup with this precision-engineered 4-foot open-array antenna designed exclusively for Garmin's Fantom radar series. Crafted in sleek black, it delivers the sharp clarity and reliability serious boaters demand, whether you're scanning horizons for navigation hazards or tracking fast-moving targets during offshore adventures.

What sets this antenna apart is its integration of advanced pulse compression technology, which maintains peak performance across vast distances without compromising on close-range detection. Imagine effortlessly spotting small buoys amid choppy waves or distant vessels in low visibility—scenarios where traditional radars often falter.

Key Features Tailored for Real-World Boating

• Optimized Array Design: The 4-foot size strikes an ideal balance between compact mounting and expansive horizontal beamwidth, ensuring broad coverage without excessive wind resistance.
• Enhanced Target Resolution: Superior horizontal resolution helps differentiate between closely spaced objects, crucial for busy harbors or fishing grounds teeming with activity.
• Seamless Fantom Compatibility: Engineered as a direct fit for Fantom open-array systems, it pairs flawlessly to elevate your radar's short- and long-pulse capabilities.
• Rugged Marine Build: Withstands harsh saltwater environments, UV exposure, and constant vibration, promising years of dependable service on the water.
• Low Profile Aesthetics: The black finish blends discreetly with most vessel designs, maintaining a clean deck look while delivering pro-level functionality.

Boaters upgrading from smaller dome radars rave about the dramatic improvement in target separation and reduced screen clutter, making split-second decisions safer and more intuitive.

Why Choose the 4ft Size for Your Vessel?

Not all boats are created equal, and neither are radar antennas. The 4-foot array shines on mid-sized cruisers, sportfishers, and center consoles where space is at a premium but performance can't be. Compared to larger 6-foot options, it mounts lower and spins with less torque, easing installation on trailers or davits.

In practical terms, this means clearer returns from 20 feet to over 48 nautical miles, with MotionIQ-like intelligence filtering waves and rain for pristine overlays on your Garmin multifunction display. It's a game-changer for night runs, fog-bound passages, or tournament fishing where every edge counts.

Effortless Integration and Maintenance Tips

Mounting is straightforward with standard Garmin hardware—secure it to a radar arch or pole, connect the cable, and sync via your chartplotter's network. No lengthy warm-ups; it's ready to scan seconds after power-up.

For longevity, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and inspect cable connections seasonally. Pair it with Garmin's Auto Bird Mode for effortless bird spotting during dawn patrols, turning your setup into a full-spectrum awareness tool.
