Furuno 1623 with 6" Monochrome LCD 16 Nm Radar
Display with 15" Radome
Small in size, the 1623 is big on power, clarity and advanced radar features.
The slim-line monochrome LCD display and lightweight radome antenna make it
ideal for power or sail boats as small as 17 feet.
This 2.2kW radar has a 16 nautical mile range, yet will zoom down to 1/8
nautical mile for tight navigation in harbors and inlets. The 1623 radar lets
you readily identify objects, thanks to a high definition 6" Silver Bright LCD
screen that clearly separates targets. Plus, the four-tone target display lets
you easily differentiate between stronger and weaker echoes, helping to alert
you of any danger..

Furuno 1st Watch Wireless Radar, 24 nm, 4 kw DRS4W
FURUNO 1st Watch Wireless Radar, the world’s first wireless Radar that you can
access directly from your iOS devices.
Move around and explore
With the new FURUNO 1st Watch Wireless Radar, you can do things previously
impossible. You can bring the Radar display wherever you go, even put it on the
iPhone in your pocket. Since the display is untethered, you are free to roam the
vessel while maintaining full situational awareness of your surroundings. For
example, you can bring the Radar display with you when jumping into the cabin
quickly to grab fishing gear or other tools needed during your voyage.
Easy to use at 1st glance
Plug in the Radar, set up the free app from App Store and you're good to go.
With familiar gestures it's a breeze to use; you can even use two iOS devices
simultaneously. The app has been created with simplicity and efficiency in mind,
providing reliable information that is easily accessible.
Peace of mind
Quickly and easily set up a custom guard zone and the DRS4W app will alert you
when a Radar target enters the zone.
RezBoost Beam Sharpening
RezBoost™ beam sharpening technology is available in select Radar units. With
RezBoost™, you'll see more detailed targets with less clutter.
Target Analyzer
With Furuno's exlcusive Target Analyzer, targets that are
approaching your vessel automatically change color to help you identify when
they are hazardous. Green echoes are targets that stay stationary, or are moving
away from you, while red echoes are hazardous targets that are moving towards
your vessel. Echoes dynamically change colors as targets approach or get farther
away from your vessel.
Target Analyzer improves
situational awareness and can increase safety by showing you which
targets to look out for.
Fast Target Tracking utilizing Doppler technology
With Doppler technology, any vessel approaching yours will automatically
display a target vector as well as sound an alarm. Select any target, and it
only takes a few seconds to display a speed and course vector. With accurate
tracking information, estimation of other vessel's course and speed is greatly
simplified. Up to 100 targets can be displayed simultaneously.
Basic Radar Terms:
Beamwidth
Beamwidth is the angular width, horizontal or vertical, of
the path taken by the Radar pulse. Horizontal beamwidth ranges from 0.75 to 5
degrees, and vertical beamwidth from 20 to 25 degrees.
Range Resolution
Different than display resolution, which is a measure of the pixels in an LCD
display, Radar resolution describes the Radar’s ability to distinctly display
two Radar targets which are close to each other. Radar has two types of
resolution: Range, and Bearing.
Range Resolution is a
measure of the capability of the Radar to display as separate pips the echoes
received from two targets that are on the same bearing and are close together.
The main factor that affects range resolution is pulselength. A short
pulselength gives better range resolution than a long pulselength.
Radar Resolution
Bearing Resolution is a
measure of the capability of the Radar to display as separate targets the echoes
received from two targets that are at the same range and close together. The
principal factor affecting bearing resolution is horizontal beamwidth. The
narrower the horizontal beamwidth, the better the bearing resolution.
Measuring Range
The range from own ship to target can be measured in three ways: by
Range Rings, by Cursor, and by the Variable
Range Marker (VRM).
The RINGS key shows/hides the range rings
and adjusts their brilliance. To measure range by the range rings, count the
number of rings between the center of the display and the echo. Check the range
ring interval at the top of the display and judge the distance of the echo from
the inner edge of the nearest ring.
The cursor provides a more accurate
measurement of range to targets. Set the cursor intersection on the inner edge
of the target. The range from own ship to target appears on the display.
The VRM, like the cursor, provides a more
accurate measurement of the range to targets. Display a VRM and adjust it so
that it rests on the inner edge of the target. The range to target appears on
the VRM readout.
Measuring Bearing
The relative bearing from own ship to targets can be measured by the
cursor and by the EBL (Electronics Bearing Line).
To measure bearing by cursor, set the cursor intersection on the center of
the echo. The bearing from own ship to target appears on the display.
To measure bearing by EBL, display an EBL and adjust it
so that it bisects the target. The bearing to the target appears on the EBL
readout. Bearing relative to heading is relative bearing, while bearing relative
to North is true bearing.
With a Gyro or Satellite Compass
connection, you can display true bearing. Without a compass connection, you can
determine true bearing by simply adding relative bearing to your compass
reading: if the sum is over 360 degrees, subtract 360 from the number.
