WEll ... let me give you more details

The GPS is a Raytheon 398 and works great.
The chart plotter is a Raytheon 601 ( I have 2 of these units)

The Radar is a Raytheon R41 XX


Let me assume (yup, I know, the pun) that your GPS drives the Plotter
on it's data input connector, And the Plotter data output connector goes
to your 41XX, and these would be the BNC type connections.

May I first suggest disconnecting the Plotter from the 41XX and watch for
lockup to occur on the plotter. If this happens, I may have an idea of
what is wrong.

Please reply back to the thread if I am incorrect about your interconnection
routing as this will have a bearing on things.

Certain Raytheon gear just doesn't co-operate with other gear correctly,
and I have seen your problem before. Give me some more info on how you
have things wired together, and send an email to the Raymarine techies.
They are real good with help, but they don't know about some of the odd
things I have seen with their equipment. I have my own service notebook.
