Doppler tech automatically displays target vectors and sounds an alarm for approaching vessels. With RezBoost™ set to MAX, it can achieve a 2 - degree beam width sharpness.

Using the Furuno DRS6ANXT radar is quite straightforward. First, make sure you connect the power supply correctly. It works with 12 - 24vDC, so check your boat's power system matches. The pedestal cable is sold separately, so install it properly. Once powered on, the radar will start scanning. Use the controls to set up features like Target Analyzer™ and Fast Target Tracking™. The Target Analyzer™ will show you if other vessels are approaching or moving away just by the color of the targets. When you see a red target, be extra cautious. For fishing, switch to Bird Mode to track birds and find good fishing spots. As for maintenance, keep the antenna clean from dirt and debris. Check the cables regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you have any issues, refer to the user manual or contact Furuno's customer service. Also, remember that the antenna size you choose affects the beam width and performance, so pick the one that suits your needs best.
