I am under the impression that ARP is and add on option for all the

(1833) but I bet Doug could give us a difinitive answer.

============================================

I just got back from the Ft Lauderdale boat show and had a chance to
talk with the Furuno factory reps. It turns out that ARP functions on
the 1833 are possible but require an optional circuit board that costs
about $600 or so. No where is the circuit board mentioned in the list
of 1833 options on the Furuno web site and several dealers I've talked
to were not aware ot it either. There is also an additional circuit
board available that accepts composite video input and allows it to be
displayed either full screen or in a window.
