[CA11] NO GPS Fix after factory reset of C-80 - jetmart - 06-17-18 04:26 PM
My C-80 was rebooting every for or 5 minutes to the map screen that I was using. GPS and radar function was working fine. After searching this website I carried out a factory reset according to instructions. I now have solved the rebooting issue however the C-80 does not seem to see the RS-120 GPS antenna. From what I can see there are no user set parameters that should have changed during the factory reset for the GPS function. IS this correct? Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Glenn

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Glenn,
The Raystar 120 GPS Sensor was produced in both NMEA 0183 and SeaTalk versions. Which one of the models was installed onboard the vessel?

I believe it is SeaTalk. How can I determine for sure?

Glenn,
When manufactured, a vinyl medallion was affixed to the upper shell of the Raystar 120 GPS Sensor identifying which of two communication protocols (SeaTalk or NMEA 0183) it supported. Should this medallion have fallen off, then providing the sensor's product ID / serial number information (label affixed to the underside of the sensor), then we would be able to determine which model of the Raystar 120 you own.

Thank you, It is in fact SeaTalk

Glenn,
Please note that neither performing a factory reset to a C-Series Classic MFD nor updating the MFD's software would have had any impact on the performance of the GPS sensor. While incorrect configuration of the NMEA 0183 port settings may interfere with the ability of the MFD to receive GPS data from a NMEA 0183 source, there are no configuration settings which control a C-Series Classic MFD's SeaTalk communications.
