Used one of the JRC 4k radome models with a CRT green screen. Was working fine after 7 years with no history of problems. I would say they compare well with the 4K dome made by Furuno or SI-TEX if you are comparing apples to apples. If I was outfitting a boat on a budget, I would not hesitate on getting a JRC JMA-2343 over the Furuno 1832 for the money.

I can't speak to their current products but....My boat came with a JRC color sounder that has to be 20+ yrs old. It looks like it was left outside its' entire life. The POS still works like a Swiss watch.
