Hi Group

I have been out today and have attempted to do a sea trial calibration
of my raymarine fluxgate and s6001 auto, I could get the system to
calibrate after following the setup guides and doing lots of very slow
speed revolutions. Only when i returned to my slip i did notice the a
small sony radio receiver had lodged itself about 1 foot on the other
side of the bulkhead where there the fluxgate is installed ... would
this have stopped the system from not getting a deviation reading ??

My setup is

Ray C70 with pathfinder radome
Ray S6001
Ray fluxgate
Ray Smart heading sys
S3 corepack

My setup was carried out from the autopilot control head and also tried
from the C70 compass setup page but could not get the system to
complete th calibration. Would the small tranisitor radio spoil the
calibration, it was 1 foot away from the fluxgate and turn off Grrrr

I was doing 150 foot circles at very slow speed 1- 1.5 knots

Any advice appreciated , yes I will be removing the radio away fromthe
area

TIA
Franky
