Have a used MFD12 and a new old stock DRS4D hooked up at home to test MFD comes up no problem but can't find radar. The cables were brand new with the dome.
Please help

For basic troubleshooting, verify with a multimeter you have a solid 13.1v - 14.1v on the vessel, or in your test environment when you boot up the unit and dome. Than navigate to SYSTEM > Installation Wizard. Let it run, don't hit skip, yes to DHCP, and see if it pulls up a radar tab.

If not, additionally the cables may appear new, but if they're original Furuno shielded ethernet cables for this radar they could be nearly 10 years old! So they should be checked with a standard ethernet cable tester to verify all the valid channels don't have a short. Otherwise try a generic bypass ethernet cable and re-run the wizard.

If unsure, call our tech support or you could always just send in both the display unit and the dome to our service repair center for a low cost service evaluation and we'll test it out at our facility for you.

Hope this helps,
- Maggy
