BendixKing is offering owners of the digital RDR 2000 weather radar the opportunity to upgrade the unit to the RDR 2060 specification for an introductory price of $5,995. The upgrade requires sending the RDR 2000 to BendixKing, which inspects, disassembles and upgrades the unit with a 6-kW magnetron that has 50 percent more transmit power than the original.

Features of the RDR 2060 include extending detection range to 340 nm from 240 nm, auto-range limiting to warn of blocked (attenuated) areas and auto-tilt (which requires an air data source). BendixKing also brings the upgraded radar to the current mod level (available for radars already at mod 3 or above) and provides a one-year warranty.
