FR-8065 Color Radar

Furuno FR-8065 12.1″ Color LCD Marine Radar

The FR-8065 Color Radar is part of the FR-8005 Series radar it features state-of-the- art signal processing, which makes it easier to identify targets in heavy rain and poor visibility. The FR-8065 radar can discern between rain and surface reflections, providing the ability to find and track the movement of rain clouds, as well as removing unnecessary echoes. For tracking the movement of other vessels at sea, “True Motion Trails” can be displayed as well as AIS/TT target-tracking with a zoom display function. When the vessel is in motion, the radar echoes move smoothly on the main display thanks to the “True View Mode”.

Supreme digital signal processing

Radar echoes are clearly displayed even during rainfalls or severe weather conditions and unnecessary echoes can easily be removed. The technology for removing sea, rain and snow clutter has been greatly enhanced utilizing Furuno’s state of the art knowledge in digital signal processing. When using the Target mode, vessels close by and vessels on intersecting courses are automatically displayed zoomed in. These targets will remain displayed for as long as they pose any concern. Target Trails are also displayed, making it easy for the user to determine the movements of individual vessels.

New True Trail & True View modes

Moving objects will show up on the main screen with a colorful trail when the True Trail Mode is used. These trails make it possible to see the movement of nearby vessels in the blink of an eye. The radar echoes move smoothly on the main display thanks to the “True View Mode”. The True View Mode is based on the head-up mode. During the radar sweep, the echoes move according to the heading of your ship. Since the echoes move in real-time, the discrepancy between an observed target and what is displayed on the radar screen is greatly reduced.

Target Tracking and AIS display

The Target Tracking (TT) feature continously tracks and provides positional information for up to ten targets. If the FR-8065 is connected to an AIS device the radar can track target heading, name, speed and direction of movement. With AIS it is possible to identify and track the movement of other vessels in heavy fog, during nighttime and otherwise difficult conditions. Another benefit is that with AIS you can identify obscured targets that the radar signals cannot reach, giving you more time to act. AIS can display up to 100 targets simultaneously, TT can display up to 10 different targets simultaneously.
