Ah! It's a great day, especially when I find out the problem was not mine
but a wiring error (or documentation error) on the DATA connector on the back of the unit.. The manual shows DATA SIGNAL on pin #4 and DATA SIGNAL RETURN on pin #5. As Wired: DATA SIGNAL is actually on pin #2 and DATA SIGNAL RETURN on pin #3.. I also verified that both the connector and plugs have pin markings that match up.. I think this was a documentation error.. BTW. The main reason I didn't intiate pin swaping earlier is because pin #6 of this DATA connector, for some strange reason, has 12vdc on it... That I verified early on and insulated the lug on in the DIN back shell.. The radar now has a compass sensor heading so I can do a little more with on screen plotting without manually computing the Mag. ships heading.. There are also some tricks I can perform with the Yeoman, like place lolly-pop markers on Nav Aids before the radar actually can pick them up.. (then again, short handed sailing, I never have time to do anything fancy at the chart table..) Thanks again to those who responded. Steve s/v Good Intentions |
