Furuno Connections Quick Take - DRS25ANXT Solid State Open Array Marine Radar vs 12kW Open Array

We've tested the Solid State Marine Radar Domes, but what about Open Array Solid State Marine Radar? How does it perform against regular magnetron Open Array Marine Radars? This video gives you a quick peek into how well the Furuno DRS25ANXT 200 Watt Solid State Open Array, with a 4-foot antenna, performs against Systems A's 12kW magnetron Open Array with a 4-foot antenna.

Good Morning All, I have a Nordhavn with a 15 inch TZT2, and a 12 inch TZT2 on the fly, with a DRS4DNXT Radar. I have zero interest in fishing, but do spend summers in Maine so use Radar in the fog a lot, and I do a lot of mid to long distance cruising offshore at night. I am thinking of switching to the DRS25A Radar, and TZT3, along with a sat compass. What improvements will I see? I am also thinking of adding a FLIR 364C, but am unclear as to wether the color will work on the Furuno system. I know I would have to add an Axiom into the mix if I wanted augmented reality.
Best,
Maldwin Drummond
