Hi,
The RD424 E52067 on my boat has become intermittent. Sometimes it fills the display with solid amber return, if gain turned way down some echos are displayed (but not all), then it will eventually return to normal operation and I have to readjust the gain. Other times it stops all display and I need to power down the scanner and power it on again to recover. I am thinking of replacing the scanner with a refurbished 24" HD Color Radome E92143R on sale now. I believe this is compatible with my E120 which is running SW v5.69.
I also have a DSM30 which would be using the Seatalk HS connection on the E120 so I will need to add a HS5 switch to connect a digital Radome.
Questions:
1. Is the E92143R compatible with my E120?
2. I would likely mount the HS5 next to the DSM30. What cable is required to connect them?
3. For the E120 to HS5 connection, I could either run a new cable (maybe 8' or so?) or add an adapter to the cable currently plugged into the DSM30. Suggestions?
4. Please confirm for the Radome cable I would use "Radar Cable (RayNet)" such as A80228 or A80229 depending on required length for power and HS5 connection.
5. Please confirm that the E92143R is the same mounting as the RD424.
Thank you!
Howard
