Mix and Match Radar & Chartplotter?

Question:

I have a Standard Horizon CP2000 chart plotter on the command bridge and my Furuno Radar at the main helm station. I generally prefer to pilot from the command bridge. What is needed to have the radar image overlaid onto the plotter screen?

Answer:

Radar overlay is only possible for devices from the same manufacturer. Even within a manufacturer the chartplotter (i.e. multi-function display) must also be compatible with the radar. Unfortunately your Standard Horizon chartplotter and Furuno radar will not function together to provide radar overlay unto your charts.
