[CA] [CA11] Difference between Sirius receiver 150 and 200

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum avetjx,

Raymarine's MFDs are designed to display weather information in the resolution supplied by the provide (SiriusXM / NavCAST). NOWRAD weather within these systems is intended to be viewed at a regional range level. When ranged very close in as shown within your photos, the appearance of the NOWRAD will take on a pixelated appearance indicating the limits of the supplied data. Unlike some of Raymarine's competitors, Raymarine MFDs do not employ smoothing algorithms to NOWRAD and other weather features. While use of such algorithms may improve the appearance of the weather data, it may also mislead the operator concerning resolution of the data and the actual weather detected at any specific location.

As no change to the resolution of the weather transmitted the SiriusXM / NavCAST) or received by the SR200 has occured, the graphical performance of the LightHouse 3 SiriusXM satellite weather feature, whether served by a SR200 or SR150, should be identical. No new weather features have been introduced as a result of the introduction of the SR200 other than support for this receiver within LightHouse 3 v3.9.46 for Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs.
