Raytheon Radar Dying?
Look in the owners manual for a section on receiver tuning. Not sure
about the R21, but newer Raymarines have a digital control of the
tuning right from the display. It sounds like your receiver tuning
has drifted off the transmitter.

My radar screen still reads the echoes, but the screen gradually became full of
snow. Also, when the set is first turned on and warming up, it stops my VHF
from scanning and the squelch cannot filter it out on any channel. As soon as
the radar is "ready," my VHF starts scanning again. My open array antenna
spins, and even with the screen full of snow, I can still read the echoes.
Anyone know what's wrong and is it worth fixing. It a 12 year old Raytheon R21.
"Listen to the live broadcast of 'Nautical Talk Radio' with Captain Lou every
Sunday afternoon from 4 - 5 (Eastern Standard Time) on the web at

or if you are in Boston or Cape Cod set your radio dial to
95.9FM.
