The Raymarine Quantum Q24C Radome (T70266) is a 18-inch solid-state radar that utilizes CHIRP pulse compression technology. This specific kit is a complete bundle that includes the radar dome along with 15-meter (49.2 ft) power and data cables, making it ideal for larger boats or tall mast installations where long wire runs are required.

High-Definition Imaging & Efficiency

The Quantum series represents a major shift from traditional magnetron radars to solid-state technology. This allows for much better target separation and a significant reduction in power consumption.

• CHIRP Pulse Compression: Delivers superior radar imaging at both long and extremely short ranges. It can identify targets as close as 18 feet, which is vital for navigating in thick fog or tight harbors.

• Instant On: Because it is solid-state, there is no warm-up period. The radar is ready to transmit within seconds of being turned on.

• Lightweight & Efficient: Weighs up to 50% less than traditional radars and uses very little power (17W transmit / 7W standby), preserving your battery life during long trips.

• Dual Connectivity: While this kit includes a 15m Ethernet cable for a reliable wired connection, the radar also features integrated Wi-Fi for easier installation or as a backup data path.

Technical Specifications

• Range: 1/16 to 24 Nautical Miles.

• Connection: RayNet Ethernet and Wi-Fi.

• Voltage: 12V or 24V DC.

• Waterproofing: IPX6 rated.Bundle Includes: Q24C Radome, 15m Power Cable, and 15m Data Cable.

Recommendation

The T70266 is the best choice if you are performing a new installation on a mid-to-large sized vessel and need the maximum cable length provided in a standard bundle. If you are replacing an older radar and already have cables, or if you have a smaller boat, you might consider the Quantum Q24C (No Cables) version to save on costs.
