JRC Radar JMA – 5322
Japan Radio Co., Ltd. (JRC)
Refurbished
The JRC JMA-5322 is a professional X-band marine navigation radar belonging to the JRC JMA-5300MK2 radar family.
JRC offers several JMA-5322 configurations, including JMA-5322-7, JMA-5322-9 and JMA-5322-6HS, allowing different antenna sizes and rotation speeds depending on vessel requirements. The standard JMA-5322 variants use 25 kW X-band transmission power at 9410 MHz ±30 MHz.
The system is suitable for commercial vessels requiring reliable target detection, collision-avoidance support and integration with bridge-navigation equipment.

These specifications are listed by JRC for the JMA-5300MK2 family.
• 25 kW X-band radar transmission
• 7 ft, 9 ft and high-speed 6 ft configurations
• Maximum range scale up to 96 NM
• Automatic and manual tuning
• True Motion presentation
• Head-Up, North-Up and Course-Up modes
• Radar target trails
• Sea and rain clutter suppression
• Interference rejection
• Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL)
• Variable Range Markers (VRM)
• Target Tracking functionality depending on configuration
• Self-diagnostic functions
• High-resolution colour radar presentation
JRC also highlights its Constaview™ digital signal processing, TEF™ target enhancement and brushless antenna motors in the JMA-5300MK2 family.
The official JRC specification lists the following range scales:
0.125 / 0.25 / 0.5 / 0.75 / 1.5 / 3 / 6 / 12 / 24 / 48 / 96 NM
This allows the radar to support both close-range maneuvering and longer-range navigation.
A typical JRC JMA-5322 radar installation includes:
• Radar Scanner / Antenna
• Scanner Transceiver Electronics
• Radar Processor
• Radar Control Keyboard
• Trackball Control
• Display / Monitor
• Scanner Cable
• Power Supply Equipment
• Heading / Speed Interfaces
• Radar interconnection cables
Depending on the version, the scanner may be NKE-2254-7, NKE-2254-9 or NKE-2254-6HS.
The scanner is one of the most important parts of the JMA-5322.
The 7 ft NKE-2254-7 provides approximately 1.0° horizontal beamwidth, while the 9 ft NKE-2254-9 narrows this to approximately 0.8°. The high-speed 6 ft NKE-2254-6HS rotates at 48 rpm.
A narrower horizontal beam can improve target separation and bearing discrimination.
The JMA-5300MK2 family can also be configured as a black-box radar, allowing the radar processor and control equipment to be integrated with a suitable bridge display arrangement.
This is useful for bridge retrofits and installations where operators want more flexibility in monitor placement.
JRC describes the JMA-5300MK2 specifically as a Black Box Radar family.
The JMA-5300MK2 operating documentation includes functions such as:
• Gain adjustment
• Sea clutter suppression
• Rain/snow clutter suppression
• Interference rejection
• Cursor range/bearing measurement
• Fixed and variable range markers
• Electronic Bearing Line
• Own-track display
• True Motion
• Radar trails
• Head-Up presentation
• North-Up presentation
• Course-Up presentation
• Target Tracking functions
• Self-diagnostics.
These functions support both navigation and collision-avoidance operations.
JRC JMA-5322 radar systems can be found aboard:
• Cargo Ships
• Container Ships
• Bulk Carriers
• Oil Tankers
• Chemical Tankers
• LNG/LPG Carriers
• Offshore Vessels
• Passenger Vessels
• Workboats
• Commercial Ships
• Merchant Vessels
The JMA-5300MK2 family was designed for professional commercial marine radar applications.
Inspect scanner power, antenna motor, drive mechanism, cabling and scanner electronics.
Check transmission status, magnetron/transmitter condition, scanner electronics, tuning and receiver section.
Possible causes include:
• Magnetron deterioration
• Incorrect gain
• Excessive clutter suppression
• Receiver problems
• Scanner/transceiver faults
• Antenna or waveguide-related issues
Check processor power, monitor supply, interconnection cables and internal power components.
Inspect gyro heading input, interface settings and heading-source configuration.
Verify heading input and scanner alignment before assuming a radar processor fault.
Inspect keyboard cable, processor connection and control-unit electronics.
For the JMA-5322-6HS, inspect the high-speed scanner drive and associated electronics because this model operates at 48 rpm.
• Inspect scanner rotation regularly.
• Check antenna and scanner for corrosion.
• Inspect scanner cable and connectors.
• Keep processor and display ventilation clear.
• Monitor radar transmission performance.
• Check heading and speed inputs.
• Verify EBL/VRM accuracy periodically.
• Check sea/rain clutter controls.
• Investigate weak echoes before complete failure.
• Follow JRC maintenance procedures before internal adjustment.
JRC uses brushless antenna motors across this radar family to support longer service life.

SM MARINE SERVICE™ can also support sourcing for other JRC JMA radar families, depending on availability.
Customers searching for older JRC marine radar parts can send:
Radar Model + Scanner Model + Part Number + Clear Photograph
This is especially important because similar-looking JRC scanner or processor components may have different specifications and compatibility.
A complete radar replacement can require changes to the vessel's:
• Scanner installation
• Radar cabling
• Bridge console
• Display arrangement
• Heading interface
• Speed input
• AIS/interface connections
• Power arrangement
If only a scanner, processor, control panel or internal board has failed, sourcing a compatible replacement component may allow the existing radar installation to remain operational without a major bridge retrofit.
