T70169
Marine Electronics Specialist Insight: The RD424HD (MPN T70169) is the ultimate radome choice for captains who demand open-array levels of precision in a protected housing. The larger 24-inch antenna delivers a remarkably narrow 3.9° horizontal beam width, offering significantly sharper target separation than standard 18-inch domes. This complete bundle includes a 10-meter digital radar cable, providing a seamless "plug-and-play" installation for offshore cruisers and tournament anglers.
The Professional Standard for High-Definition Scanning
The Raymarine RD424HD (MPN: T70169) is a 4kW high-definition digital radar that pushes the limits of what a radome can achieve. By combining a 24-inch antenna with advanced digital signal processing, it delivers exceptional clarity and target separation up to 48 nautical miles. Whether you are navigating through heavy rain or monitoring high-traffic shipping lanes, the RD424HD provides a photographic-like view of the world around your vessel with 256-color intensity.
This T70169 bundle is specifically engineered for mid-to-large offshore vessels. It features Adaptive Digital Receiver technology, which automatically eliminates sea and rain clutter, allowing the captain to focus on genuine navigational hazards. With High-Speed 48 RPM tracking, target updates are delivered twice as fast as standard digital radars, providing a smoother image and increased safety when operating at high cruising speeds.
