1.1 Outline
The antenna unit uses a Log IF amplifier. The scanner unit is the same as that of FR-2115
(12KW) and FR-2125 (25kW). The difference between 6 kW and 12 kW sets is the use of
different type of the magnetron, and different setting of magnetron current.
The features are;
 6 pulselengths enabling echo size on the screen to be similar in all ranges.
 Flash ROM enabling program update to use a PC.
 Non-interlace, high-resolution display (1024 q 768 dots).
 Improved short-range performance using shorter pulselength and higher repetition rate than
before.
The table below shows the major specifications of each model.
