    Why is Furuno Marine Radar sensitivity poor after adjusting TUNE control?
    • E
      Edward LeeAug 23, 2025
      If adjusting the TUNE control on your Furuno Marine Radar results in poor sensitivity, consider these potential causes: 1. The magnetron may be deteriorated; with radar transmitting on 48 mm range, check magnetron current and replace the magnetron if the current is below normal. 2. The MIC may be detuned; check MIC detecting current and tune the MIC if it's below normal. 3. There may be dirt on the radiator face; clean the radiator surface. 4. There may be water in the wave-guide or other feeder line; remove the water. 5. Second trace rejection may be ON; disable the second-trace rejector.
