Garmin Radar GPS GMR 18 HD Marine Radar, 18" Radome 010-00572-02 - ReelAttitudeBDA - 10-09-17 08:59 AM
I have updated my MFD's with the Axiom 9 and the a98. I have an existing radar, a Garmin Radar GPS GMR 18 HD Marine Radar, 18" Radome 010-00572-02. The radar is not connected to the network as yet. The displays and other device run thru a Raymarine HS-5 network switchs.
Will this radar work with my two MFD displays?
Do I have to purchase a specific connector to make it work via an input on the HS-5?
What do I need to make this radar with with my current Raymarine system?
Thanks

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum ReelAttitudeBDA,
As Simrad, Furnuno, Garmin, etc. MFDs are not designed to support radar transducers from other manufacturers, Raymarine MFDs likewise are not designed to utilize radar transducers from other manufacturers. This incompatibility stems from proprietary radar technology differences developed into the radar transducers of each manufacturer and the corresponding radar processing technology designed into the software of the MFDs that the radar transducers are designed to function with.
