I recently purchased 2 - 15" TZT2's. a TZT9 and a DRS12. I frequently have issues with TZT2's showing Device Communication Error, Position Lost and 'NO RADAR', even though normally the RADAR still functions fine. Calls to Furuno indicated that there are issues with the mixed system currently, and will be fixed with a future software update. OK, so I separated the TZT9 so it is not on the network. I also add an external NMEA2000 GPS on the hardtop. The errors still happen. Removing the TZT9 didn't really help much, if at all, in reducing the occurrence of these errors. Furuno says wait for the update.
The other night (a very dark night) I got the 'NO RADAR' indication on the screen.
I didn't think too much about it, because it happens all the time. However, this time the unit was locked up. The display was frozen. I didn't realize it at first since the display looked normal. Then I realized that the display was not updating. I tried pressing various controls on the screen, but it was unresponsive. I was able to hold the power button and shut it down. Of coarse when it powered back up it was blindingly bright. The good news is it started displaying the radar again.
I am very quickly losing confidence in this equipment.
Am I the only one having these problems?
