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

I just got back from the Ft Lauderdale boat show and had a chance to
talk with the Furuno factory reps. It turns out that ARP functions on
the 1833 are possible but require an optional circuit board that costs
about $600 or so. No where is the circuit board mentioned in the list
of 1833 options on the Furuno web site and several dealers I've talked
to were not aware ot it either. There is also an additional circuit
board available that accepts composite video input and allows it to be
displayed either full screen or in a window.


Yep, that squares with my memory. ARP is a seperate function that must
be added on to any of the small commercial Furuno Radars. Once you get
into the Big Boat Stuff it is built in, but the cost are significant.
