All perfectly good if working - there is no need to upgrade to the latest glass bridge touch screen stuff.
Tru data is your multi display that does primarily speed (log and gps if networked), depth and water temp. It does other things but those are the three (tri) main bits of info (data)

Are you sure you are not confusing the GPS dome with a radar dome?

Honestly Roy! Since when did you ever take a blind bat's notice of any chartplotters anyway?

Radar dome would be connected to the c80

Only thing I would add is that connectivity of future upgrades might be pretty compromised due to age. I can't recall but can the C80 take the now common NMEA 2k?
From personal experience if you try to add or change one thing ..or something stops working..you seem to end up changing much of it.

If you can't identity a radar vs GPS I'm not sure you should own a boat...

It partially supports NMEA2000 - to be honest you don't need much more than NMEA0183 unless you want AIS etc.

Wow - you know so much from just one photo! I wonder how the ones and zeros then travel to my plotter. Must be radar magic.

The cable is missing from the cable grommet in that photo so presume that isn't your radar? Ones and zeros don't travel from that one either as it's analogue.

It is. It works. The picture was to show the size versus what may or may not be the GPS antennae for the OP.

So where's the cable?

I'm sure there's the choice to route the cable through the base, or out the back to suit the installation.

Sitting at my desk in London and with the boat in the South of France I have no idea, but as it works and did so when I was last on my boat two weeks ago, I would say that it is somewhere not shown in the picture.
Where you a standards officer for the RAF as this sounds like a check ride - 'So blogs what does that bit of kit do, what is it's frequency range and what is the name of the gentleman who designed it?'

No there isn't' The case is sealed apart from the cable grommet.

No but it's pretty simple stuff. The large grey cable grommet is there for the analogue cable entry and yours shows none. The later digital radomes re-used the grommet entry but with a digital radar connection and no grommet.
