Hi there,
I have a Furuno 1942 mk 2 radar on my boat. Its setup with the 4 ft open array antenna. The unit works fine but is getting older of course. My boat also has a Navnet VX2 system with completely separate power and a 3 ft antenna.
Would it be possible to remove the 1942 head unit and replace it with a newer VX2? I found this post that seems to suggest it is possible!

I would consider this if it wasn’t a giant can of worms to deal with. Used VX2 stuff is pretty inexpensive these days.
I don’t necessarily care about networking the additional VX2 unit into my existing VX2 system but if that was possible without jeopardizing the redundant nature of my radar setup that could be interesting too.
