T70414 – Magnum Radar 12kW with 6ft Antenna and 15m Cable

The Magnum 12kW radar with a 6ft open array antenna is the ultimate radar solution from Raymarine for non-military vessels, bringing true professional-grade performance to the private and light commercial sector. Boasting a nearly 96 nm range capability and an extremely narrow ~1.1° horizontal beamwidth, this system can resolve distant targets with unparalleled clarity. The expansive 6-foot antenna array focuses the radar beam more tightly than ever, which means that at long range, the radar can differentiate between objects that lesser systems would blur together. This precision is crucial for early detection of small contacts – a cluster of boats on the horizon or a string of channel markers many miles ahead will appear as distinct, identifiable echoes on your screen. For captains of megayachts or workboats, that translates to more time to react and more information to base navigation decisions on.

The T70414 package comes with everything needed for deployment: the 6ft open array scanner, the 12kW pedestal transmitter with the VCM100 power/control module, and a 15 m RayNet cable. Installation is straightforward for marine electronics professionals, and once online, the radar integrates seamlessly into a Raymarine network. It interfaces via SeaTalkhs/RayNet and shares data with Axiom series MFDs and other compatible displays. Backward compatibility ensures that even if you’re upgrading from an older HD or Super HD radar, the Magnum 12kW can slot into your setup (with appropriate adapters) without a complete system overhaul.

In terms of functionality, the 12kW/6ft Magnum offers the full suite of advanced features, all amplified by its sheer power and antenna size. Bird Mode remains an invaluable tool – now with 12kW, you can scan for bird activity at even greater distances, effectively extending your fishing “radar” and helping you find potential fishing zones that other boats might miss. The MARPA target tracking on this radar can handle up to 50 acquired targets simultaneously, providing automatic updates on each target’s speed, heading, and CPA (closest point of approach). Even in busy shipping lanes, Magnum’s processing can keep up, giving you a comprehensive picture of surrounding traffic. Paired with True Trails, moving targets leave their movement history displayed on the screen, allowing you to immediately grasp which vessels are underway and where they’re headed. This level of insight makes complex scenarios – such as overtaking situations or crossing traffic – far easier to manage safely.

Built to commercial standards, the Magnum 12kW with 6ft array is rugged and dependable. It’s engineered to handle constant rotation at both standard and high speeds (48 RPM) and to cope with the vibration and shock on offshore vessels. The hardware is rated waterproof and meets marine environmental standards, so it can endure years of heavy-weather operation. It’s no surprise that professional mariners and offshore specialists often choose this radar – it delivers the kind of performance and reliability that can be a lifesaver during long ocean passages or critical missions. Whether you’re captaining a superyacht, a deep-sea fishing vessel, or a research ship, the Raymarine Magnum 12kW/6ft gives you the confidence of having one of the most capable eyes on the ocean. From spotting hazards hidden in squalls to tracking multiple vessels around you in real time, this radar system provides an unrivaled level of situational awareness, ensuring that you can navigate with precision and safety even in the most demanding marine environments.
