The Garmin GMR Fantom 56 is a powerhouse 50-watt solid-state radar system that combines a high-performance pedestal with a 6-foot open array antenna. Designed for serious mariners, it utilizes MotionScope™ technology to detect and highlight moving targets in different colors, instantly identifying potential collisions or bird flocks. With its 1.25-degree beamwidth, the Fantom 56 provides exceptional high-resolution imaging and target separation from as close as 20 feet up to 72 nautical miles.

Advanced Radar Intelligence
The Fantom 56 system is built for situational awareness. Auto Bird Gain helps offshore anglers locate birds at the water's surface, indicating where baitfish (and game fish) are likely found. Echo Trails leave a fading "trail" on the screen to help you identify moving targets' paths. Additionally, Dual Range support allows you to see close and long-range views simultaneously on a split-screen display.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does this radar require a warm-up period?
No. Because the Fantom 56 uses solid-state technology, it features instant-on capability with no warm-up time required, unlike traditional magnetron radars.
2. Can I track multiple targets at once?
Yes. With MARPA Target Tracking, you can track up to 30 targets simultaneously to help avoid collisions (requires an optional heading sensor).
