• Service manual for RadarPC
  • We got it. Kudos to Koden
    • Some good follow up advice too
  • RADAR PC
    • And where did you steal this unit, Sylvain
    • do you have a bill of sale from the last registered owner?
    • Manuals as PDF and a few notes
      • I thought he was asking about the manuals for the 'radar unit' -- not VNS?
        • He wrote it came with VNS
          • Nobeltec is particular about that.
          • He did say "it was never installed'...So Sylvain...
            • More on the RadarPC

                • Noland NM42U
                  • That's useful but I think you will still need the RS-422 conversion box
                    • RS-422 to usb for $14
                      • Call Nobeltec. They need to give you an activation code for RadarPC
                      • NMEA 0183 is RS-232...
                        • NMEA 0183 is a combined electrical and data spec that uses RS-422
                        • RE: NMEA 0183 is RS-232
                          • Every NMEA 0183 I have used...
                            • So who follows the spec?
                            • Look at the NMEA 0183 connectors on Raymarine or Furuno
                        • A bit confusing...
                      • Our similar unit requires that all is powered downwn, power up radar, wait a minute
                        • low voltage
                          • Suspect it's the software or intiiation sequence
                            • It's true that Nobeltec will only work with data sources it sees on program start up
                              • Yes, you might be able to reinitialize...but
                                • He might have a long cable run to the radar scanner
                                • It's not on the boat yet...
                  • One other consideration
              • The message I deleted
