C-map chart updates?

Pretty much all pre Ethernet dedicated radar sets yes.

Nonsense, where do you get this stuff from ?

As i said "Can you point me to some of these radars that have NMEA connections ?"

Experience. My Zeus 3s sends various RADAR sentences over the NMEA network. The RADAR is integrated, so you may be confused as to what a RADAR set is, exactly, but in the old days it was a separate box that had to send MARPA via NMEA or ST1. A Radome is not a radar set, it's an antenna

Isn't a Zeus 3 a MFD ? It does not communicate with the radome over NMEA, it's too slow, it uses Ethernet.

I'm not confused as to what radar is, don't be so arrogant and rude.

Not interested in any more of your nonsense.

Correct the Zeus is a multifunctional display. One of those functions is RADAR. it generates MARPA data which it sends out over NMEA just like my old Raymarine dedicated RADAR did.
You definitely are confused and you’re being an arse because you don’t like being corrected. I apologise for correcting you, but it is what it is.

My radar antenna is from SITEX. The radar display is on a Standard Horizon CP390i. They communicate by NMEA but maybe some of the wires carry Ethernet, or something else.

They look like they communicate with serial from the manuals, via a junction box. Not NMEA but electrically are essentially the same tech. The connection to the scanner/radome is something else but they do show the chips so probably not hard to work out what. Either way you'll have a simple list of things the scanner could connect to, including laptops by the look of it with OpenCPN.

Yes, five wires, one data earth and two for data in and two for out. NMEA connections mentioned. The word Ethernet not used.
