I have an FU1824C with a 2kw dome and want to change it to a 6 or 12 kw open array is this possible?

1824c/NT is a 2.2KW dome. Yes if you find an open array scanner and cable, they did make a 6KW and 12KW open array.

Thanks for the reply help!

I guess the question should have been I have a RDP-149 navnet v 2 could I run a 6 or larger kw open array

As long as they are one of the two that are designed to work with those older NavNets. For example the 1953C/NT (RDP139) or 1954C/NT (RDP149) is a 12 KW that came with a PSU005 power unit that ensures that the suitable 12KW scanner has everything it needs to operate. The entire cable set, power supply, gearbox, and antenna array would be needed. Changing the radar would be just like you originally purchased the 1954C/NT instead of the 1824C/NT.

I found a 4’ open array but the tag is faded out anyway to identify it from inside?

The RTR-059 sticker (in the picture) indicates that it is a 6kW. When connected to an RDP149 (NAVnet vx2), it would be a 1944C/NT. No PSU required.

Well that is an RTR 059 so yes, that is a 6KW radar. I could be used directly to an RDP139 (1943C/NT) or RDP149 (1944C/NT) with the correct radar cable. It would be either an RSB0070 (most common) gearbox or a RSB0073 (less common 48rpm version. Full part number is more than likely the RSB0070-059.
