Raymarine Quantum™ Q24C Radome w/Wi-Fi & Ethernet - 10M Power & 10M Data Cable Included — Product description
Why Choose the Raymarine Quantum Q24C for Your Vessel?
Navigating busy waterways or open seas demands radar that punches above its weight without the bulk or power drain of traditional systems. The Quantum Q24C stands out with its solid-state CHIRP pulse compression, delivering crystal-clear images from as close as 18 feet to a full 24 nautical miles. Boat owners rave about its ability to separate cluttered targets—like distinguishing a buoy from a nearby wave—thanks to FLIR's ATX advanced target separation tech. Whether you're dodging weekend traffic in a coastal inlet or scanning for distant hazards during offshore runs, this radome keeps you one step ahead.
Its lightweight build (just 12.3 pounds) makes it a breeze for smaller crafts like sailboats or RIBs, shaving up to 50% off the weight of magnetron-based radars. Pair that with ultra-low power use—17 watts transmitting, 7 watts standby—and it extends your battery life on long sails. Safe emissions mean you can mount it higher or closer to living quarters without worry.
Superior Performance in Real-World Conditions
CHIRP technology isn't just buzz—it's a game-changer for marine radar. By sweeping across frequencies, it focuses more energy on each pulse, sharpening long-range detail while excelling at short-range clutter rejection. Spot small craft or debris hidden in sea spray that older radars might miss entirely. The 4.9° horizontal beam width provides pinpoint accuracy, and at 24 RPM, it refreshes fast enough for dynamic maneuvers.
- Instant Readiness: No magnetron warm-up—power on and scan in seconds.
- Noise-Free Operation: Built-in rejection filters out interference from nearby radars or electronics.
- Versatile Connectivity: Wi-Fi for wireless MFD linking or Ethernet for rock-solid wired setups, with slim cables that snake through tight conduits.
For upgrades, it matches legacy Raymarine bolt patterns, often reusing existing cables with a simple adapter. IPX6 waterproofing shrugs off pounding waves, ensuring reliability season after season.
Effortless Setup for Any Boater
Installation boils down to four M8 bolts and routing the included 10-meter power and data cables. The 21.3-inch diameter dome fits standard mounts, and its compact 8.25-inch height keeps your profile sleek. Connect via Wi-Fi to Raymarine LightHouse II multifunction displays for seamless integration—no bulky RayNet cables required unless you prefer wired. Boaters upgrading from older scanners appreciate the plug-and-play vibe, minimizing downtime at the dock.
"Slid right into my existing setup on a 32-foot sailboat—half the weight, twice the clarity. Game-changer for foggy mornings." – Experienced sailor feedback
Ideal Applications for Everyday Adventures
Suited for vessels under 40 feet, the Q24C shines in scenarios where space, power, and precision matter most:
- Coastal Cruising: Detect unlit vessels or markers in low visibility.
- Fishing Trips: Isolate fish schools or wrecks amid choppy seas.
- Night Sailing: Low power draw preserves batteries overnight.
- Racing or Day Boats: Quick scans without sapping performance.
Unlike bulkier open-array radars, its radome design thrives on trailerable boats or yachts with limited arch space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CHIRP technology better for marine radar?
CHIRP pulse compression sends varying frequencies in each pulse, packing more energy for sharper short- and long-range images, outperforming fixed-pulse traditional radars in target separation and detail.
Is the Quantum Q24C suitable for small boats?
Absolutely—its lightweight design and low power draw make it perfect for sailboats, RIBs, and powerboats under 40 feet, without compromising performance.
How does Wi-Fi connectivity work with this radar?
It pairs wirelessly with Raymarine LightHouse II MFDs for easy networking. Ethernet (RayNet) is also supported for more stable connections in larger setups.
What's the minimum detection range?
An impressive 18 feet (6 meters), ideal for tight harbors or avoiding close obstacles.
Does it require a long warm-up time?
No—solid-state tech means it's scan-ready in seconds, unlike magnetron radars that need minutes to heat up.
Can I mount it near crew areas?
Yes, its low-power solid-state transmitter emits safe levels of radiation, allowing flexible mounting options onboard.
