Model 1730 Radar

[cmgtrumpet]

I sent this originally via Facebook messenger and the staff monitoring that system requested I come to the forum with it. Thank you for any assistance.

We recently purchased a Pursuit 2800 with some of your equipment installed:
Sounder (FCV-585) and
Radar (Model 1730)

We would like to upgrade our radar’s CRT display to a more modern digital panel display and would like to know how best to accomplish this mission. Please excuse my lack in sub component compatibility knowledge - I didn’t ever believe we’d have a large enough vessel to even think about radar systems. Thank you.for your help.

Our system is currently 100% functional - we just really want to modernize our helm. Additional note: If we are able to figure out a good solution, we will have the CRT display available to anyone that may need it.

Cmgtrumpet,
Thank you very much for your question.
In order to use a more modern display you will unfortunately need to also replace the Radar Dome. The current radar is just not compatible with a more modern display like the TZT or TZT2.

A very nice replacement for the system you have would be the TZT2 with the DRS4DNXT if you would like to go with an MFD system. please see a link to both products below.

Both of these items are also currently part of our current rebate program. Please see below:

Another option would be to stick with a standalone Radar like you have and a link to that option is below:

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you for the response. I guess we will continue with this unit until she is no longer serviceable and then perform our upgrade.
