JRC 1000 radar

[Scarboroughsloop]

A bit of a long shot but does anyone around the Portsmouth/Gosport area have a JRC 1000 radar and wouldn't mind me plugging my display into? I have issues with my set and think that the scanner may be the issue but it would be great to be able to try my display on a scanner that is known to work.

On a quiet day, put your ear to the mast, and switch it on and off,
You can usually hear if the scanner is revolving or not.

Thanks PlankWalker. From what I can hear it seems to be moving but VERY slowly. Head unit beeps when buttons pressed and buttons light up but noting in the way of picture.

I had a 1500 which is functionally very similar. Here is a link to a basic service manual with some self test (IIRC) procedures; hope it helps!

I'll leave it there in my Dropbox folder for a couple of days so you can download it, then I'll take it down (cheapskate free account!)

Many thanks concentrik, I've downloaded that now and will try at the weekend. Thanks for your help.
