OpenCPN 5.10.2--Where's the Radar plugin?

I upgraded to OpenCPN 5.10.2 and now the radar plugin is not in my list of plugins. Since I'm directed to use the built-in plugin manager, I don't know how to move forward to get the radar plugin installed.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry, but I don't know what the beta catalog is or where to access it. I searched and found the OpenCPN Beta site but it appears to be closed.

Change the plug-in catalog to "beta" and then "update catalog" again.
Try to select the catalog settings and you will see an advisory first.

Now you will need to enable the "catalog expert" option in the OpenCPN config file by adding the CatalogExpert switch into the PlugIns section.
Access to the ConfigFile from Options|About (the "?" tool button).

[PlugIns]
CatalogExpert=1
(close OCPN before editing the Conf file!)
Save the modified Conf and restart OpenCPN.
