Not wanting to send ( @ + shipping both ways ) my 88 vintage Furuno Radar for repairs to WA USA, I took this thing to a local Ontario and former Furuno repair guy but I am not optimistic as I have not heard from him in a while. The initial guess was that the Magnatron was gone ..... I would like to replace the whole thing with something new but I do NOT want to run the new 1" dia ?? multi conductor cable all the way to the scanner on the arch, it's just not possible to squeeze through !!. That said .... is there anything out there in entry level newer or in digital radars that will only need a Cat 5 data or other small cable to power the scanner ... ? Wireless would be even better ! There is not much info in this regard on the internet that I could find and our boat show here in Toronto will be sometime in January if I was to look at the various manufacturers.
Thanks in advance .. FB
