Looking for someone in Calondra area that is willing for me to test my 3500 recieiver module or head unit on their boat . Lowrance are driving me crazy > with there support it's non exsistant. They tell me if I can find someone local who is willing to help me it will only take a few minutes to find out what is faulty.
When I had dramas with my unit droping out they insisted that I send both the receiver and the head unit to them.Are they insisting that you only send either the head unit or the receiver not both to them?Did the person that hooked up your unit conect the receiver to it's own power supply,I know it drove me mad till I worked out the new ones are not like the old receivers that just pluged straight in.
I just fitted a 3500 to a brand new Freedom Seasport 640. 2nd time out I got a "GPS module not responding" message. Power was OK but not reading anything from the antenna. Was Night time so difficult to trouble shoot. Next morning I fiddled around with the connections and wiring and it then worked. Must have been a loose wire! Other than that I am very happy with it.
Anyway, I live in the Caloundra area but am overseas at the moment at work. Won't be back for a couple of weeks, if you are still having trouble send me a PM and you are welcome to come around and sort it out.
I took the boat up to BCF at maroochydore yesterday and they were unreal. I didn't even purchase the unit there and they spent an hour with me in the carpark trying to find the problem. In the end they connected a brand new unit up on the dash with a small battery and we finally worked out that the reciever module and the T-piece connector are both RS. Hopefully now Lowrance will send me the new parts and all will be good.
