change to E80 from C120

[Don Guy]

Hello,

I have a working system with a C120 v5.04, Pathfinder 2D, DSM300 sounder, SmartPilot S1 vS1 463, ST6001 v15, SmartController and Raystar125 GPS.

I am trying to substitute an E80 for the C120, and am having difficulty with the pilot and GPS, both interfaced to the E80 on a SeaTalk bus via the E80 SeaTalk/Alarm cable.

With the Raystar 125 on the SeaTalk bus, the E80 start up fails and repeatedly attempts to start over and over :banner page, blank display page, blank screen, banner page again.

If I remove the GPS from the SaeTalk bus, the E80 starts normally. It receives Heading data from the pilot, but: in the status box the pilot icon is coloured, but flagged "X" (indicating I think that the E80 recognizes the pilot is there, but sees it as not operational), and the pilot control menu does not appear in the E80 menu list. The pilot system itself is working though.

I'm hoping for some guidance on what is wrong and how to get this going.

Thank you,
Don
