Default Radar Installation

Anybody in this newgroup that has experience of installing a radar
scanner that might not be the one your factory specifies but orf the
same brand, after your original gets busted and the display is in good
condition but out of production ?
Will it work to put a different scanner or do you always have to use
the one the factory specifies ?


I have read that the early Raymarine scanners were manufactured by JRC. If
this is the case these might be interchangeable. Also, I have been told by
a JRC rep that the display that came with my 2kw scanner will work with a
4kw scanner so its possible you do not need a scanner of the same kw rating
for your installation.
