The GMR 1226 xHD2 12 kW high-definition 6-foot open-array radar is our most powerful option for serious seafarers of large yachts and sport fishing boats. The GMR 1226 xHD2 provides the best combination of radar capabilities we have to offer. Its 12 kW of power and 6-foot antenna with 1.1 degree horizontal beamwidth combine to deliver more data, higher detail, the best resolution and the clearest radar images available on your Garmin chartplotter. It provides the best sensitivity and most consistent target positioning available. Perfect for cruising and fishing near shore, offshore, overnight and in foggy, limited or no visibility, conditions.

High-power xHD2 Radar with Narrow 1.1 Degree Beam

Our most powerful high-definition radar with 12 kW of power delivers excellent range, up to 72 nautical miles, even in fog or rain. Its narrow 1.1 degree horizontal beamwidth means it can pick out weaker targets further off in the distance than wider beamwidths. The result is this radar paints a clear, concise image of the shoreline, other vessels, and impending weather on your Garmin chartplotter. You get consistent target positions, excellent target separation and reliable operation. Its 8-bit true color imagery also helps you discriminate large targets from small ones and enhances target separation. Rotation speeds of 24 and 48 rpm with a max range scale of 72 nautical miles.
