Furuno FAR2157 (X-band) and FAR2167DS (S-band) are specific additions to the FAR2100 ARPA Radar Series, with software and hardware optimized for fishing operations, while still possessing all the standard functions of the FAR-21×7 series.

FAR2167DS (60 kW output power), has an advantage for commercial fishermen of detecting flocks of seabirds; it’s S-band radar assures target recognition in adverse weather, whereas X-band is heavily affected by sea or rain clutter.

Radar systems consist of an antenna (8, 10, 12 (s-band) foot radiator selection), 20.1″ color LCD display, processor and control unit; BlackBox radar available if different monitor preferred.

Both radar incorporate state-of-the art signal/graphics processing technology together with auto tuning, logarithmic amplifiers and anti-clutter controls, for superb detection on all ranges. Thanks to its graphics processing technology, the echoes are expressively presented with 32 gradations in accordance with reflected echo strength. The anti-clutter controls suppress the unwanted echoes from waves, rain and clouds. The combination of these technologies ensures a clear image, even in rough seas.
