I am about to install a DRS4D radome to my boat this week, and I was planning on wiring the GPS antenna to the radome, however that had me wondering. Since I have a sailboat, I don't really want to have my radar on all the time, and generally, I don't use it unless it's at night or I'm in some fog... so my assumption is that unless I have power going to the radome, then I will not be able to power the sensor? Assuming this is the case, how much power will the radar consume on standby? Is it worth running a wire direct from the GPS antenna to the CAN bus network?
Also, because of space issues with wires in my binnacle, I have (at least at this point), not hooked up the 18 pin cable to the tztouch unit, and my NMEA2000 backbone is powered by my house battery separately. I am assuming that this is fine unless someone tells me otherwise...
Thanks in advance,
Frosty
