The supported Raymarine radars are very easy to use with OpenCPN. All you need is a wired Ethernet connection.
You can add as many computers as desired, the system will allow operation from all connected MFDs (plotters) and computers.
Shared setup with a Raymarine MFD
The radars supported by the plugin are the old analog radars, not yet the digital and the Quantum generation radars. See table. Most of these radomes connect via a thick cable directly into a Radar display or an older MFD like the ``E Series Classic legacy Display''.
These have a Seatalk hs port, which is nothing else than Ethernet. The seatalk hs physical connection is a standard RJ45 jack with a weatherproof collar.
Connect an Ethernet switch and link it to the Seatalk hs port on your display.
