======================================

I'm under the impression that ARPA is included on the Furuno 1833 that
I've been considering. Is that not correct? I would like to be able
to eliminate the flux gate compass requirement by assuming COG =
heading but not sure if it's possible.

The ARP11 (10 target ARPA) is listed as an option for your radar. As far as
the data connection between the GPS and radar, if the Garmin cable is the
same as most of the others they make it would have some un-terminated wires
plus the red and black for power. You need the NEMA data cable for the radar
(the one with the bare ends). Nothing more then connecting 2 wires from each
cable and setting up the data outputs and inputs on each unit. Sorry I can't
remember the colors you need to connect and the info is at work.
