The new Quantum Wireless CHIRP Radar from Raymarine was at the Miami International Boat Show this year. It uses CHIRP pulse-compression technology to provide what FLIR calls “a new standard” in solid-state radar.
According to the manufacturer, the technology creates “unsurpassed” resolution and separation of targets including boats, rocks and weather cells. Targets can be detected at a minimum range of 18 feet.
The Quantum unit can connect to any Raymarine LightHouse II-powered multifunction device through a Wi-Fi connection. Also, according to Raymarine, the unit weighs half that of traditional magnetron radars.
Power consumption: It’s reportedly low, 17 watts when transmitting and 7 watts on standby.
