[CA] [CA11] ST70/Smart Pilot x30

[dapagani]

Chuck, thanks for the timely reply, I need to clarify as I do not think I was clear on problem description.
Originally, the only devices connected to the STng converter were the CCU/ST 70 CH/Raystar 125. the st 70 ch also had a second cable that went to the E120W, now removed. Removed the Raystar 125, so what I am left with is an open port on the st 70 ch, open port on the ST ng converter, a power cable for the st ng converter, and a st cable to the ccu. so as far as the autopilot goes, the only change was to remove the st cable from st70 ch to E120W, now getting the "No Pilot" error on ST 70 CH, I do have power to CCU. Your comment that I don't heed the st ng converter anymore or simply the power cable only? should I connect the ST cable directly from CCU to ST 70 CH, turn on power switch on CCU, leave second port of ST 70 open, remove all ST ng back bone?
FYI, I do have open port on ST ng converter without terminator on it, would this cause the converter to show open, thus no comm to CCU?

as for the Garmin interface, I can mess with that once I get the STX 30 running.
