Has anyone connected a radome directly or via some sort of black box to a MiniPlex? If so, which unit do you have and how does it work? I removed my older Furuno radar and Simrad chartplotter and do not want to purchase a new chartplotter given my Mac setup. It would be great to go straight from a new radome (Furuno, Raymarine, Si-Tex pc?) that supports NMEA data to MiniPlex and Mac. I do hope this is possible. A good deal of ferreting around on the Web has not really answered this question for me.

Both GPSNavX and MacENC has the ability via NMEA data to plot tracked targets and the cursor of a RADAR on the chart. You would want to look for a RADAR that supports these NMEA messages..

$RARSD, $RATLL, $RATTM

Any RADAR that supports those NMEA data messages can be connected to the Shipmodul Miniplex Lite multiplexer.

But, I assume from your response that they can not plot land masses, etc?
