Mk.ll goes even further, with 14" CRT, 10 kW output, and a host of other performance features including the optional

GD-2000 to combine radar and nav system plotting on the same CRT

Then there's the workhorse of a different color: the FR-2010. Equally at home on the largest commercial vessels and the world's most prestigious yachts, this radar shows targets in 8 crisp shades of yellow-orange, legends and markers in green or light blue, plot data in white, and user-selectable background of blue or black all on an extremely high-resolution (720 x 900 pixels) 20" color CRT.

Of course, all Furuno color radars provide dual VRM's and EBUs, Guard Zone, on-screen readout of all system data, plus the kind of performance and reliability you expect only from Furuno.

We can't begin to describe all the features of these marvelous radars here, so see the Furuno world of color at any of our more than 200 authorized dealer outlets, or write for complete information today.
