T70266
Marine Electronics Specialist Insight: The Quantum Q24C (MPN T70266) is the professional's choice for larger vessels and sailing yachts. While the standard 10M kits are fine for small boats, this 15-meter cable bundle provides the essential reach for high-masted sailboats and large sportfishers. By utilizing CHIRP Pulse Compression, this solid-state radar delivers target clarity that traditional magnetron radars simply cannot match, identifying small targets as close as 18 feet.
The Evolution of Compact Radar Performance
The Raymarine Quantum Q24C (MPN: T70266) is a solid-state radome that redefines maritime situational awareness. By moving away from the high-power magnetrons of the past, the Quantum series uses CHIRP pulse compression to send more energy to each target. This results in superior target separation and an "Instant-On" capability—meaning your radar is ready to scan the moment you encounter fog or nightfall, with no warm-up period required.
This comprehensive T70266 package is specifically bundled for larger installations. It includes both a 15-meter power cable and a 15-meter RayNet data cable, allowing for a rock-solid wired connection on vessels with complex routing. Despite the wired capability, the Q24C still features integrated Wi-Fi, providing a redundant data path or a clean, wireless installation option for secondary displays.

Quantum Q24C Elite Features:
- Superior CHIRP Technology: Identifies small targets as close as 18 feet and provides exceptional separation even in heavy sea clutter.
- Instant-On Performance: Solid-state design eliminates the 2-3 minute warm-up cycle of magnetron radars.
- Extended 15M Cabling: Perfect for sailboats with tall masts or powerboats with high towers where standard 10M cables fail to reach.
- Ultra-Low Power Usage: Uses up to 50% less power than magnetron radars—crucial for battery bank longevity.
- Safe Radiation Profile: Extremely low energy emissions make it safer to mount in areas where passengers are in close proximity.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the 15M version (T70266) better for my sailboat?
Most standard sailboat masts require more than 33 feet (10M) of cable to reach the display at the helm or navigation station. The 15M (approx. 49ft) cable kit in this T70266 bundle ensures a professional install without needing risky extensions.
2. Does this radar work with older e-Series displays?
Yes. The Quantum Q24C is compatible with Raymarine Axiom displays, as well as older a, c, e, eS, and gS-Series MFDs running the LightHouse II or later operating systems.
