    What to do if Furuno 1815 shows marks but no echo?
    • K
      Karen FoleyAug 30, 2025
      If your Furuno Marine Radar displays marks, indications, and noise but no echo, and the transmission leak representing your ship's position is absent, the issue might be with the magnetron, modulator board, or SPU board. Check the magnetron current. If that's not the problem, replace the modulator board. If the issue continues, replace the SPU board.

    What causes poor sensitivity in Furuno Marine Radar even when correctly tuned?
    • W
      William MartinezAug 29, 2025
      If your Furuno Marine Radar has poor sensitivity despite correct tuning, the possible causes are dirt on the radiator face, a deteriorated magnetron, or a detuned MIC. Clean the radiator. Check the magnetron current with the radar transmitting on 48 nm range; if the current is below normal, the magnetron may be defective and needs replacement. Also, check the MIC detecting current; if it's below the normal value, the MIC may have become detuned.

    What to do if Furuno 1815 range is changed but radar picture does not change?
    • W
      Whitney AdamsAug 27, 2025
      If changing the range on your Furuno Marine Radar doesn't alter the radar picture, try changing the range again. If the issue persists, turn the display unit off and on.
