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 ?


Three issues -
1) the signal that synchronizes head rotation with display rotation.
2) The power requirement of the transmitter at the head.
3) The signal characteristics of the receiver: frequency,
pulse length etc.
