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 ?

Interchangeability is built into SOME OEM's designs, BUT if you are
a US Flagged Vessel, that interchangeability NEEDS to be "Type Accepted"
by the FCC when the product is introduced and originally submitted for
Type Acceptance. Any non-Type Accepted arrangment would not be legal to
operate on a US Flagged Vessel. Also non-Type Accepted Radars onboard
non-US flagged Vessels normally are shutdown, at the 3 Mile Limit, just
as all visiting Warships secure all non-navigation emitters at the 3 Mile
Limit.
