B&G radar into Open CPN on raspberry

Hi everyone hoping someone can help with this .. I have openCPN running on a raspberry Pii 4, connected through boat WiFi to a Cerbo Gx running signal K. The Cerbo connects to my NMEA backbone so I get all the boat NMEA data that’s available on my Zeus 3 chartplotters , but the final piece I haven’t worked out yet is connecting the B&g 4g radar , does anyone know how to bring that data into my system ideally with the current setup!? Many thanks

The raspberry Pi needs to be on the same ethernet network as the radar.

Saintgeorge.
Normally wifi is not good enough to transfer the data size from a radar scanner. A hard wired connection is normally preferred.
You may like to read about radar plugin connections in the manual.
