Raymarine Quantum is a compact, high-performance solid-state marine radar featuring CHIRP pulse compression technology. Setting a new standard for radar imaging, Quantum delivers superior radar target recognition on both long and extremely short ranges.
$1,500.00
The Raymarine QUANTUM Q24W 18-inch Radar is a compact solid-state marine radar designed for detailed target detection at both short and longer ranges. Its CHIRP pulse compression technology concentrates more energy on targets to support clearer radar imaging, while the compact scanner and low power consumption make it practical for vessels where installation space and electrical efficiency matter. The Q24W can connect wirelessly to compatible Raymarine chartplotter displays and also supports wired installation.

The QUANTUM Q24W uses CHIRP pulse compression technology to improve radar target imaging. According to the supplied specifications, this technology sends more energy toward each target, supporting target recognition across both longer and extremely short ranges. The 18-foot (6-metre) minimum range is particularly relevant for close-quarters awareness where short-range target detail is important.
The Q24W Wi-Fi configuration allows a compatible Raymarine chartplotter display to connect wirelessly to the radar. The scanner is supplied with a 10-metre power cable, and an optional Quantum adapter cable can be used when upgrading compatible installations without replacing existing radar cabling. Its small-diameter power cable can also simplify routing through tighter installation spaces.
Before installation, confirm compatibility between the radar, display, network configuration, power system, and existing cabling. The supplied product information specifies 12 V DC or 24 V DC nominal supply and an operating range of 10.8–31.2 V DC.
Quantum is designed around low-power solid-state radar technology. The Q24W is specified at a maximum of 17 W in transmit mode, 7 W in standby, and 2 W in sleep mode when connected via Wi-Fi. Lower electrical consumption can be useful on vessels where battery capacity and power management are important considerations, particularly during extended time under sail.
The scanner measures 541.0 mm in diameter and 209.5 mm in height and weighs 5.6 kg. It has an IPX6 waterproof rating and is specified for operating temperatures from -10°C to 55°C. Storage temperature is listed as -25°C to 70°C, with storage upright and the underside vents kept unobstructed. The specified humidity limit is up to 95% at 35°C, and maximum wind speed is listed as 100 knots.
The Raymarine QUANTUM Q24W provides selectable range scales from 1/16 nautical mile through 24 nautical miles. The available scales are 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 nautical miles. Actual radar detection depends on target size and height, weather, sea conditions, installation, and other operating factors.
The compact Q24W is suited to recreational boats, sailing vessels, coastal cruising, fishing applications, and other marine installations that require radar awareness without the size and power demands of a larger open-array system. Its short-range capability, selectable range scales, wireless connectivity, and low-power operation make it a flexible option for vessels with limited installation space.
When selecting this radar, consider the vessel’s available mounting area, display compatibility, power system, cable routing, and desired radar coverage. The Q24W is an 18-inch solid-state scanner rather than a large open-array radar, so it should be evaluated according to the vessel’s actual navigation and detection requirements.
