Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Matt,

This has all of the symptoms of a insufficient current being supplied to the radome. It is recommended that the entire power and ground circuits (from the radome's socket through all terminal strips, connectors, switches, breaker panels, bus cables, to batteries) be inspected to ensure that all cables are in good shape, all connections are free of corrosion, and that all connections are tight. Should the problem not occur when the vessel is connected to shore power, then the vessel's batteries should be serviced, fully charged, and then load tested ... and replaced if necessary. If operating the electronics for extended periods of time without the engine(s) charging the electronics battery(s), then you may want to consider adding additional battery capacity onboard the vessel. Should the problem occur when reoccur when connected to shore power, then it would be recommended that the radome be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench tested / serviced.

No software updates are available for Digital Radomes unless internal circuit boards of the radome are replaced ... and such updates would then be performed by the Product Repair Center when any such circuit boards are replaced. E-Series Classic MFDs must be updated with v5.51 or later software when interfaced to a Digital Radome.
