[CA] [CA11] AP tracking issues

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Seastolic,

NMEA 0183 communications issues would not be responsible for the reported symptoms. Such communications issues would prevent the autopilot from receiving navigational data required for it to enter Track mode.

Should the autopilot be functioning well when operating in Auto mode and should the heading reported by the autopilot correct, then there would appear to be no problem with the autopilot's hardware. It would be recommended that you verify that the autopilot's Response Level setting be configured to 1. If so , then it would appear that the autopilot is expressing a feature of early software Type 100 autopilot course computer software. Unfortunately, the Raymarine's technicians and service centers can no longer perform software updates (or service) to these 20+ year old autopilot course computers.
