Hi All
I have a Lowrance lms525c Combo unit which has worked perfectly for the last 18 months until yesterday.
It's not giving a gps position fix. just a blinking Question Mark.
I have read through alot of related threads and i cant make sense of it. heres what i have worked out
LCX 3000 external Antenna IS Connected and Powered and NMEA2000 system recognizes it - STATUS OK -
Also have E-60 Fuel Flow - Also reads - STATUS OK -
So i don't think its a network problem.
When i turn of the switch to the antenna "OFF", I get "GPS MODULE NOT RESPONDING" message. when i turn it back on the message disappears which tells me it IS Working.
So does this mean that the antenna is powered but just not working, which seems fairly common from my readings of this forum.
I have done software update, soft restart, hard restart to no avail.
Any Wisdom would be greatly appreciated
If someone has a spare lcx 3000 antenna that IS working, can you let me know if i can borrow it for diagnostic purposes.
Thanks
