[CA] [CA11] C80 and 2kw radar

guill309,

My prior response was based upon the assumption that the radome had been previously functioning correctly with the radome and radar cable ... this appears to have now been an incorrect assumption. The fact that the radome functions correctly with the E-Series Classic MFD is a vindication of the radome and its radar cable. The fault experienced with the C-Series Classic MFD may be rooted in older software of the MFD or within the MFD's radar processing circuitry. It would typically be recommended that the MFD's software be updated with v5.16 C-Series Classic MFD software and that two System Settings & Data Reset commands be executed after the MFD's software has been updated. Should the problem persist thereafter, then the problem would ... through fault isolation ... be determined to be rooted within the MFD's radar processing circuitry. Unfortunately, Raymarine can no longer service C-Series Classic MFDs.

Like most MFD software update downloads, the C-Series Classic MFD v5.16 software is a compressed folder. After the download has completed, the downloaded compressed folder should be located within the PC's Downloads folder. One would then right click on this compressed folder and select the "Extract All" option listed within the displayed menu. The files should be extracted into the root of the CF memory card. Should problems persist in updating the MFD's software, then please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject.
