What to do if Furuno 1945 Marine Radar picture not updated or picture freeze-up?
If your Furuno Marine Radar picture isn't updating or the picture freezes, check that the signal cables are fastened. If that doesn't solve the issue, the SPU board may need replacement. You can also try turning the radar off and on.
How to fix poor discrimination in range because of many echoes from the waves on Furuno Marine Radar?
To improve discrimination in range on your Furuno Marine Radar when there are many echoes from waves, adjust the A/C SEA control.
Why Furuno 1945 is correctly tuned but sensitivity is poor?
If your Furuno Marine Radar is correctly tuned but the sensitivity is poor, turn off the [2nd Echo Rejector] from the [Echo] menu. Also, clean the radiator. Check the magnetron current with the radar transmitting on 48 nm range and replace the magnetron if the current is below normal. Check MIC detecting current, if MIC detecting current is below normal value, MIC may have become detuned.
Why is my Furuno 1945 Marine Radar target not tracked correctly because of sea clutter?
If a target is not tracked correctly on your Furuno Marine Radar due to sea clutter, adjust the A/C SEA and A/C RAIN controls.
How to fix Furuno Marine Radar true motion presentation not working correctly?
If the true motion presentation on your Furuno Marine Radar is not working correctly, check that the setting of [Display Mode] in the [Display] menu is set to [True Motion]. Also, verify that the heading and position data are input and correct.
Why are the range rings not displayed on my Furuno 1945?
If the range rings are not displayed on your Furuno Marine Radar, adjust their brilliance on the [Brill/Color] menu. If this does not work, replace the associated circuit board or the SPU Board.
How to display range rings on Furuno 1945 Marine Radar?
If the range rings are not displayed, check that the setting of [Rings Brill] in the [Brill/Color] menu is set to other than [Off].
What causes Furuno Marine Radar antenna not rotating?
If the antenna on your Furuno Marine Radar is not rotating, the antenna drive mechanism may need to be replaced.
Why Furuno Marine Radar power cannot be turned on?
If the power cannot be turned on for your Furuno Marine Radar, the issue may be with the mains voltage/polarity. Correct the wiring and input voltage. Alternatively, the power supply board may need to be replaced.
What causes brilliance adjusted but no picture on Furuno 1945 Marine Radar?
If you've adjusted the brilliance on your Furuno Marine Radar but there's still no picture, the SPU Board likely needs to be replaced.
