Navigation Data / SensorMedium

The Furuno FAR‑2827 is an X‑band (9 GHz) marine radar with a 25 kW magnetron delivering up to 96 nm detection range and integrated chart overlay for real‑time navigation. As a Marine Radar, it is normally installed on the bridge with the required external sensors, antennas, displays and data-network interfaces. In that role, its primary purpose is to provide navigation, position, heading, speed, depth, traffic or bridge-management information according to the listed category. Radar, ECDIS, gyrocompass, GNSS, speed log, echo sounder and integrated bridge systems use different sensing principles, so calibration and interfaces must match the actual installed equipment. Capacity: 25 kW / 96 NM. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Free of charge — send us your request for Furuno equipment. Our team checks it and replies by e-mail.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
