Furuno radar 10 inch video guide ?

[peterson]

First I must say Excuse me to everyone !

We are considering to buy some Radar Furuno 10 inch ( the 1832/1932/1942 series ):

And we want to explore it to know how functional before decide on buying. At Furuno website they have the download pdf manual but it is very bad ( lot of mistake and so poor ). And they have the Video Guide which the cost is 25 USD ( and the ship fee is about 10 USD ). Moreover, the time to deliver it to us is too low ( 3-4 week ).

Have anyone here had the convert downloadable file of this video guide, can you send to us ! We will be very cheering when receive your present. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thank you very much !

While this would appear to be sensible, you are asking people to enfringe copyright and that is not a good idea! Suggest that you would be better asking pointed questions at people who own these specific radar types.

As far as I know the Video Guide for these radars is a VHS tape - I was unaware that one could get any sort of "convert downloadable file" of it that one could email to you. In any event, as Talbot says, any copying of it would infringe copyright.

We have specified several of these radars to be put into client's new boats recently and I do not recall any problems with the manual, either at the yard or with the crews. I have just had a quick check of the manual myself and it seems to make sense to me.

Sorry that I can be of no further help than that.

I had a 1631, which is very similar in most respects, for five years and was delighted with it. Furuno gear is aimed more at the professional end of the market and is made to run continuously for long periods. The user controls are the most intuitive I've ever come across. It wouldl often paint lobster pots in fog. I had a video guide but it wasn't much use to me as it concentrated on how to use a radar per se and I had many years experience of that.

Summary: I'm sure you can buy with confidence, the manual supplied with the unit is very good, but if you need radar training you would do better to go on a radar course.
