    What to do if Furuno Marine Radar range changed but radar picture does not change?
    • R
      Renee AtkinsSep 5, 2025
      If changing the range on your Furuno Marine Radar doesn't update the radar picture, the issue could be a faulty RANGE knob, the SPU board, or a video freeze-up. Try rotating the RANGE knob; if you cannot operate it, replace the knob. If the knob works, replace the SPU board. As a last resort, try turning the radar off and on again.
