Furuno Radar External Buzzer

[Bill Andersen]

Has anyone added the External Alarm Buzzer to a Furuno?
Does anyone have the specs on the buzzer; I'm trying to figure out why it
lists for $55.

If you get the answer to your question or figure out a cheap(er) way let me
or "us" know, please. I have been told that the external alarm / buzzer
still is not loud enough ( unverified).

I have the Furuno external buzzer. I don't think it cost as much as that - I
think I would remember if it had (but I am in France - maybe different price
structure here). I find it very loud - but I am a sailor. Maybe if you drive
a motorboat you might need something louder - I am no expert on motorboats
having never driven one.

hello
the best way to do this is to wire a relay on to the buzzer output of
the radar, then you could put any size of buzzer on.

I have the external buzver and it is very loud for me.
