No...the NEMA standard to which all modern electronics comply allows talking between components of different brands. I would suggest making your radar the same as the charplotter...and going with Garmin on that at this point. Hooking up the same brand of electronics through their proprietary links is generally easier than NEMA hookups but most of us have at least somewhat mixed systems!
