Navico ES120 Repeater - Help

[johmal]

I have a Navico ES120 - Which works - but the digital repeater is badly damaged. I have contacted Navico and of course they don't any longer keep spares. They didn't respond to my request - for their recomendation about an alternative repeater! I suspect they just want me to buy a new one.

The repeater must be fairly simple. The echo sounder sends a pulse and then listens for the return. The repeater must be a simple slave - which listens for the the send - and then the return. So repeaters must be fairly simple?

Does anyone have an ES120/DS150 repeater, or know of where I can get an alternative?

Help Please

Somebody before was in bother with Navico stuff and I gave them Ondin's number who had a few Navico parts in stock. Tel No 01243 603129

Last bloke never told me whether any good or not - let me know this time?

Thanks for ONDIN' number.

They were friendly - but unable to help. Not surprising really as the sounder was discontinued 15 years ago!

So I will have to live without a cockpit repeater - or bite the bullet and get a new sounder and repeater. (But I might ask the makers about their spares policy!)
