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.

WASSP 3D

New easy-to-use interface

The F3 series inctoduce a new simplified software “WASSP CDX” for control, visualisation and data management while still providing a comprehensive set of functions to meet the most demanding fishing requirements.
