Hello,
I just installed a used ( but ostensibly working when previously removed) C120 mfd with an RD218, 2KW radome. Upon installation and testing, I am getting no radar echoes. The screen looks fine, and the waypoints, rings, ebl and vrm all show. A self diagnostic test indicates " shp fail" and " magnetron heater fail".
What tests can I do to determine if it can be rectified in place ( getting it put up there was a multi- day event!), or am I flogging a dead horse?
I am competent with tools and a multi-meter- the height, not so much, but let's do what we can to get this thing working asap.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
