I need an old E80 classic software

RE: I need an old E80 classic software
Angel,

Should your radome feature an analog video interface, then its cable will be plugged directly into the MFD's "RADAR" socket. Analog radomes feature an exterior cable gland while Digital/HD Digital Radomes feature an exterior socket. The analog radar cables feature white sheathing, will pass through the cable gland, and will be mated to the radomes power terminals and communications/video socket inside of the radome.

As you have indicated that that radar operation is intermittent, this problem may be caused by any of the following:
- insufficient power ... this is the leading cause of reported radar problems, particularly intermittent radar problems or radar problems occurring after a period of operation. To eliminate this as a possible cause, the vessel should be connected to shore power, its batteries should then be permitted to become fully charged, and then after charging is complete and while still connected to shore power, the MFD's radar feature should be tested. Should you be unable to reproduce the problem when tested in this manner then the problem would be deemed to be caused by insufficient power and appropriate steps should then be undertaken test and/or replace the vessel's batteries, add additional battery capacity, and/or install a generator.
- failure of the radar cable ... Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to test an analog radar cable.
- failure of the MFD's analog RADAR processing circuitry ... such testing would typically be performed by Raymarine’s Product Repair Center or by an authorized Raymarine Dealer using a compatible analog radome and an analog radar cable which are known to be operational. Any detected failure of the MFD's analog radar processing circuitry would then be repaired by the dealer or Raymarine's Product Repair Center. Please note that these MFDs have been retired for several years now and service may be limited.
- radome circuitry failure - such fault isolation would typically have been performed by Raymarine's Product Repair Center or by a dealer using a compatible MFD and an analog radar cable which are known to be operational. As Raymarine's Product Repair Service can no longer service radome having an analog video interface, should the fault be determined to be within the radome's circuitry by performing the other fault isolation tests listed above, then the radome and its cable would need to be replaced with a Digital Radome or HD Digital Radome and a Digital Radar Cable.

Will respond later concerning the AIS issue. However, I will need to know the make and model of AIS receiver/transceiver which has been interfaced to the system.
