[DG] [DG11] Autopilot Drops into Standby and other issues

[randy@onlinecruisingguide.com]

Hi Derek-
Thanks for your help on the troubleshooting. Unfortunately I have no idea when we might be able to send the course computer unit in for service, as we're cruising full-time, and currently in Mexico hiding from Coronavirus. It might be a LOOOOooooNG time before we can do anything with it.

I'm confident that the issue is not because of a connection error, as nothing has been changed. I can also say with confidence that this issue never showed up before the installation of our two chartplotters and STng backbone in Nov 2015. The course computer is not connected directly to the backbone, but only through to the Autopilot head unit, as before. Might this be the root of the issue (just thinking this through right now, actually)?

If you have any other suggestions for things we can try on our own, I think it's best to assume we won't have any professional help for quite some time.

Also, do you have any service centers in Pacific Coastal Mexico?
