Hi Jack,

I currently run the radar in HU since I havnt installed my fluxgate yet.

I can only agree, after reading your post, that the GPS shouldnt have
anything to do with it. The antenna does not know the bearing to the
reflection and thus throws the error message.

Ill try to take apart the dome and check for cables, dirt etc. Any tips
on how the bearing data in Simrads are generated would be greatly
appriciated.


Checking inside the dome sounds like a good idea to me. I'd think that
newer radars would have the timing pulse generator simplified down to
something a little less troublesome than optic sensors and stuff like
that though.

I'm not a radar tech in any sense of the word, I am guy that has
occasionally opened one up and checked or connected the cable or
something simple like that.
