Hello,
I have not been able to get position read out on my ICOM M601, ICS Nav6 and ST60 Multi Display from my Navman Tracker 5600.
The Navman picks up position and quickly without a problem from start up, but the date is 23 Sep 2001.
In the past I had this date problem but with slow start up finding position and a dicky cable. I replaced the GPS antenna and cable and the date was fine. Now it is not as stated above.
My query is, I assume there is an issue with the Northstar antenna, cable again, hence the date problem. Would this date issue stop the Navman sending NMEA position to the above instruments or prevent the instruments from reading the NMEA data correctly i.e. both position and date need to be received to be annunciated on the other instruments?
Trying to troubleshoot, before I buy a new antenna. I have checked on the Navman and both Output sources, Autopilot and Navbus are on, so I am expecting data out. The tide function date is also the 2001 date and there is no offset date values set.
Any hints and tips eg if I put a volt meter across the NMEA out, would I be able to test if something is there?
Thanks,
