S1000/s100 says no gps fix

ubettcha,

I would recommend powering the ST-STng Converter in the manner which I have previously specified rather than from the SeaTalk port of the S1000 as you are presently ... whether or not you continue with the presently installed ST-STng Converter or with a replacement. Care should be taken when purchasing a new ST-STng Converter to ensure that it updated with the latest available Raymarine product software update prior to using it with the system.

Should the MFD be verified to be communicating with the ST-STng Converter and the replacement ST-STng Converter not correct the the problem, then it would unfortunately, point to a problem within the S1000's SeaTalk communications interface. Options would then include servicing the S1000 or instead using a NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 data bridging device (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO-STNG) to interface the S1000 to the system.
