I needed a magnetic compass sensor for my es98 and Quantum system, so that I can use radar overlay on chart and MARPA. Therefore, I installed an EV-1.
The EV-1 works, but it's heading is between 6 and 10 degrees off compared to a stable COG.
While doing research I've learned that the EV-1 should do a linearization automatically. So I did some circles with about six knots speed and the HDG improves by some degrees, but is still between 4 and 8 degrees off.
My questions:
1. Is there any way I can see if the EV-1 is "learning", that means in linearization mode?
2. Is there any way I can force the EV-1 to do a linearization using only an es98 MFD?
3. How can I see which deviation the EV-1 has determined using the es98 MFD?
Thanks!
