what would cause my C80 radar not sweep regardless of the range ?

Dear libertysaior,

Thank you for your post.

Can you explain a little more about your issue? Is there an error message coming up on the C80?

Is the radar operating at all?

Is the C80 seeing the radar?

Is there a good power supply going to the radar?

Many Thanks
Louise

Thank you for responding!
Let me answer your questions
When I put the radar into TX mode the graphic show that the radar is turning, I am not getting any error messages , the display just shows "waypoints" and is stationary and not "sweeping showing what's around me. Hope this helps to solve the issue.... if I can give you any other information please ask.
Thank you again for your help!!

Dear libertysaior,

Can you try turning the gain up to full - do you get a full yellow sweep image?

If you do not see any image, it could be a faulty radar cable. Try checking the connections for any breaks or splits in the joins, also check the entire length of the cable for breaks and deterioration. It could be the coaxial within the radar cable has broken.

We do not sell this part any longer, it was discontinued sometime ago.

Many Thanks
Louise
