Features

  • Generate your own personal Multibeam Chart

    The F3 series is set to revolutionise inshore fisheries with its Wideband CHIRP technology. Scanning a 120 degrees swath port to starboard and using 224 beams, the F3 series delivers each and every time. By using advanced signal processing, you get a complete picture of seafloor bathymetry with ease.
