Issue solved. Turns out when I updated the chart plotter, it disabled that instrument. I turned them back on and all is good. Something to keep in mind when doing updates. Bob > On 04/26/2022 10:41 AM Joel Aronson via CnC-List > wrote: > > > The transducer is made by Airmar in

You have to watch dBi vs. dB rated antennas. I don't consider the quarter-wave or vertical dipole gain antennas really, but they both show 2 or 3 dB gain over an isotropic radiator. The straight dB (sometimes dBd) rating assumes a dipole or 1/4 wave and rates the gain over that. Joe Della

Remember to calculate in the rated gain on the antenna. A simple 3dB gain gives an effective doubling of radiated energy. With sufficient gain, you can overcome much of the feedline loss. On 4/26/2022 11:04 AM, Joe Della Barba via CnC-List wrote: > FYI: > > Loss per 100 feet at 150 MHz and

The transducer is made by Airmar in New Hampshire. Airmar is owned by Gemeco. You might contact their tech support. I've had the temp fail on that model, but not all 3. the warranty is 2 years from manufacture, not install. Sorry! On Tue, Apr 26, 2022 at 10:37 AM ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List <

It could be the transducer, or it could be the display. If you know someone with B instruments, remove your display and connect it to the other person's instruments. If it still doesn't work, it's the display. if it does, it's the transducer. Usually when the transducer paddle wheel isn't clean,

Mine is different. TackTick. It works through a magic box that talks to the other devices. That box requires 12vdc, and the displays are all wireless. Thought you might have a device/translator in the system that is required to read the signal. Chuck S > On 04/26/2022 9:53 AM Bob

As detailed as I try to be, I know some pertinent information will be left off. Such as the anemometer information still appears on my displays so I ruled out the network backbone. I plugged the transducer cable into the opposite end of the network and still just dashes. It's tri-data so

Three dashes mean, "no-signal". Check all your wire connections and make sure the power and ground wires are clean and tight too. Something is probably loose. Chuck S > On 04/26/2022 7:34 AM Bob Mann via CnC-List wrote: > > > My speed/depth/temp thru-hull is now showing dashes
