Hello [censored],

Quote:AWS on P70 seems to calculate SOG and True Wind

Could you expand on exactly what you're seeing, please? AWS does not use SOG: True Wind (TWA, TWS) are calculated from AWA/AWS and speed-through-water (paddle-wheel Speed.) See http://forum.raymarine.com/showthread.php?tid=987 for details.

Quote:Wind vane while correct as ST50, sometimes can be 180 degrees out on the P70 mainly in lighter wind

Please can you confirm exactly what data item you're looking at on the p70, and whether you're looking at True or Apparent wind on the ST50? The usual reasons for a mismatch in displayed wind data are:
  1. Looking at different wind data types (True, Apparent or Ground wind) on the different displays
  2. Analogue instrument pointer calibration (different digital data output onto Seatalk to what's being indicated by the pointer)

Quote:under sail the P70 faults out ‘No Pilot’

A 'No Pilot' alarm means a loss of STNG / NMEA2000 communication between the pilot display and the EV autopilot sensor core (which contains all of the pilot intelligence.) If that only happens when sailing then I think that the most likely cause is a voltage drop on that segment of the STNG network, perhaps due to a loose or corroded connector.

Tom
