The Furuno XN13A/6 is a premium 6-foot open array radar antenna designed for maximum target discrimination and long-range performance. Its extended 72-inch length provides a significantly narrower beam than smaller arrays, making it the ideal choice for offshore fishing and high-resolution navigation in congested waterways.
Key Features
Ultra-Fine Resolution: Delivers a narrow 1.35° to 1.4° horizontal beam width (effectively as low as 0.7° when used with RezBoost processing), allowing for the separation of closely spaced targets like channel markers and vessels.
Superior Long-Range Detection: The larger aperture provides increased gain, extending your ability to detect landmasses and weather patterns at greater distances compared to 4-foot models.
Enhanced Bird Detection: When paired with compatible pedestals, the XN13A/6 excels in Bird Mode, identifying flocks at significant distances to help anglers locate productive fishing grounds.
Broad Compatibility: Specifically engineered to work with Furuno's high-power gearboxes, including the DRS6A/12A/25A X-Class and the DRS6A/12A/25A-NXT Solid-State series.
