I need an old E80 classic software

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Angel,

Unfortunately, Raymarine policy prohibits distribution of older product software. That said, please note that the v5.69 E-Series Classic MFD software would not be responsible for the reported issues ... this is based upon years of customer and personal experience with the E-Series Classic MFDs. When updating from such an early version of software to v4.30 or later E-Series Classic MFD software, it was necessary to perform a Factory Reset operation upon completion of the update. After doing so, should the radar problem persist, then please respond accordingly, identify the model of radome which has been interfaced to the MFD, and then further radar diagnostics will be provided.

With respect to AIS connection lost, this problem may result from a number of causes:
- loss of, or intermittent GPS position FIX
- more than one source of GPS data within the system,
- loss of, or intermittent communications with AIS transceiver
- failing AIS transceiver
- erroneously formed AIS transmissions, typically from a government a transmitter. While such problems are infrequent, they can only be resolved by reporting the issue to the government agency responsible for the transponder. To work around such issues, AIS transmissions to the MFD must be blocked. This may be accomplished by either physically disconnecting the MFD's NMEA 0183 input port from the AIS receiver/transceiver or by configuring the MFD's NMEA 0183 port to NMEA 4800 (breaks communications due to the BAUD rate mismatch).

Please specify the make/model of AIS transceiver which has been interfaced to the MFD. Please additionally specify the make/model of GPS receiver(s) which have been interfaced to the system and how they have been interfaced to the system.

Finally, please additionally note that care should be exercised when using the MFD's Tracks feature. It is not recommended that it be left on continuously when operating the vessel for more than 24 hours. Accordingly, a best practice is to stop any previously started track and either delete or save the track.
