SOURCE: 1. What is the average

The life span of the radar depends on its use.
There are consumables inside, mainly the Magnetron and the scanner motor assembly, the life of which depend on running hours. The life of Display is high compared to these two.
The TR cell is located in the wave path before the receiver(detector/MIC)
Most Radars have a menu function for 'Test".

I am not picking up objects on my screen until I am right on them. Tried tilting the radar dome down foward to see if this would work to no avail. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

depending on the type of boat you currently have it mounted on, you may be out of range. Also your radar may need tuning and make sure your rain and seaclutter is not too high. Make sure the rain clutter is off. If the radar is mounted on a sailboat and you're having this problem, it's most likely the height unless it worked before in which case it could either be the display or the radar components. Magnetrons which run the radar also have a life.

Furuno radar 1621 do not show targets

You may have a faulty magnetron or one that has gotten old. They do have a life. Find out how many hours you have on the unit and give furuno a call. They will more than likely tell you what they think the problem is.

RADAR WILL SHOW CLUTTER AND NOISE WHEN GAIN IS TURNED UP BUT THE UNIT WILL NOT PICK UP ANY OBJECTS.... LAND, RAIN EXE.... WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS

If the radar has over 2000 hours it may need a magnetron replacement. Mid-Shore Electronics in Maryland can provide that service if you require it.
