The Raymarine 4-Foot Cyclone Open Array is the mid-sized antenna option for the Cyclone solid-state radar series. It is widely considered the “sweet spot” for offshore center consoles and mid-sized motor yachts, offering a significant upgrade in target resolution over the 3ft model while maintaining a manageable physical footprint.

Key Performance Advantages

• Sharper Target Detail: The 4-foot array features a 1.99° horizontal beamwidth. This narrower beam allows the radar to distinguish between two closely spaced objects (such as two channel markers or two boats traveling together) that might appear as a single target on a 3ft array.

• Enhanced Bird Mode: With increased antenna gain and higher resolution, the 4ft array is more effective at spotting distant flocks of birds, a critical feature for offshore sportfishing.

• Solid-State Reliability: Uses CHIRP pulse compression technology to provide high-resolution imagery and superior detection of small targets in heavy sea clutter without the need for a traditional magnetron.

• Real-Time Awareness: Capable of rotating at up to 60 RPM, providing a 360-degree update every second for accurate tracking of fast-moving vessels.
