Re: Seeking practical radar repair
Certainly a cheaper option but no way to see how many hours (if any) might be left in the replacement before parting with the money.

I have a Furuno radar that failed last year and as I suspected was diagnosed as a dead magnetron, even though the hours logged was half its expected life.

Re: Open CPM GPS instability
I have a round magnetic base dongle with no brand that uses the Prolific USB to serial driver. I also have a ND 100S GPS stick that uses the same driver.
