Precision Performance in a Compact Array
The XN12A/4 enhances your radar’s efficiency by narrowing the beam to 1.9 degrees. This allows for excellent long-range detection and the ability to spot birds or small debris that smaller dome antennas might miss. Whether you are using Bird Mode for fishing or navigating through dense fog, this 4-foot antenna provides the reliability and clarity Furuno is known for.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will this antenna fit my existing Furuno pedestal?
The XN12A/4 is compatible with modern X-Class and NXT series pedestals. Please ensure your gearbox uses the "A" series bolt pattern.
2. Why choose a 4ft antenna over a dome radar?
A 4ft open array provides a much narrower horizontal beam than a dome, resulting in significantly better target separation and superior performance in "Bird Mode."
