How do I know my Furuno radar model?

When the detector detects these bands, it emanates a “beep” that alerts the user of radar presence . When a radar detector detects a police officer’s radar gun, it alerts you with messages about X band, K band, or Ka bands. These are the bands that the police officer’s radar guns operate on.

Raymarine radars are only designed to work with Raymarine MFDs, Garmin radars with Garmin GPSMAP, etc displays, Furuno radars with Furuno displays , and Navico/B&G/Simrad/Lowrance radars with any of those 4 (since they are all pretty much the same anyway).

Model FOIL-200 (Oil Radar) FOIL-200 oil spill detection radar is connected to standard Furuno FAR-2xx7 or FAR-3000 X-band navigation radar. *This product is sold, supported and manufactured by Furuno Finland .

A Radar (Radio Detection And Ranging) is an instrument that can detect surrounding objects using radio waves . Thus, in the maritime world, objects such as ships, buoys or birds can be detected by Radars.

X-band is a segment of the microwave radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum, within the frequency range 8–12 GHz . The images produced by marine radars detect not only hard targets such as ships and coastlines, but also reflections from the sea surface, known as ‘sea clutter’ [23].

​All Furuno products (radar, fishfinder, GPS, etc.) have an “ID” plate which includes the serial number specific to that unit. The “ID” plate also references the model or type number . This plate is generally located either on the back or on the top of the display unit.
