May 2, 2002
Small in size, the 1622 is big on power, clarity and advanced radar features. The slim-line monochrome LCD display and lightweight radome antenna, make it ideal for power or sail boats as small as 17 feet.
This 2.2kW radar has a 16 nautical mile range for open water cruising, yet will zoom down to 1/8 nautical mile for tight navigation in harbors and inlets. This radar lets you readily identify objects, thanks to a high definition 6" high contrast silver LCD screen that clearly separates targets. Plus, the four-tone target display lets you easily differentiate between stronger and weaker echoes, helping to alert you of any danger.
