Joe,

Q1. I will need to purchase separate ray net cables (4) to connect the radar, 2 screens, and RMK-10 to the HS5. The radar cable will need to be long enough to reach the radome. Correct?
A1. You will need to purchase three RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cables of sufficient length to interface the RMK-10 and each MFD to the HS5 Raynet Network Switch. Should a Quantum Q24C Radome be purchased, then it would be recommended that a A80308 Quantum Adapter Cable and an appropriate length of Digital Radar Cable be purchased to interface the radome to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch. As the Digital Radar Cable features power and communications leads, a Quantum Power Cable will not need to be installed. In addition to interfacing the Digital Radar Cable to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch, the Digital Radar Cable's power leads will be connected to a switched 12 or 24 VDC power circuit. By using a Digital Radar Cable, only one cable need be chased to the radome.

Q2. Each piece will need to be connected to a backbone with spurs so I will need spurs from the 2 MFDs, ACU-200, EV-1 Sensor Core, p70RS, Radar, and a SeaTalkng Power Cable as spurs to the backbone.
A2. Incorrect. Of the two MFDs, only the MFD which will be designated as the system's Data Master MFD must be interfaced to the SeaTalkng backbone. The radome will not be interfaced to the SeaTalkng backbone. From a communication standpoint, the Quantum radome will be interfaced to HS5 RayNet Network Switch alone.

Q3. Is there a way to order the P70RS as part of the package? that package has the P70R, but not the P70RS?
A3. Several months ago, the p70RS replaced the p70R. T70156 EV-200 Power package now includes the p70RS.
