[CA11] Which MFD with Quantum Q24C radar + A75 mfd - LeeV - 10-17-19 12:37 PM
We're buying a catamaran that has the original Raymarine a75 E70166, but a newer Quantum Q24C radar. I'd like a newer (larger) plotter, and will move the a75 inside to the nav station, but can't figure out which new MFD will work with both. Can anybody help?
Thanks and best regards,
LeeV

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Lee,
The latest compatible software for use with a/c/e-Series MFDs is LightHouse II v19.03. Raymarine's currently manufactured MFDs (the Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs) are designed to run LightHouse 3 software. MFDs running LightHouse 3 software cannot be installed within an Ethernet network which also features MFDs running LightHouse II software. While a MFD running LightHouse II software and a MFD running LightHouse 3 software may each be interfaced as spurs to a common powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone, these MFDs would be unable to share data/resources requiring the high bandwidth of Ethernet communications (cartography, radar, fishfinder, satellite weather, etc.).
