Radar antenna spinning but not displaying

I tried turning my 1944C radar on yesterday and the antenna rotates when I push "TX" but the display does not show the trace spinning or any marks. Any idea where to start troubleshooting this? I have the RDP-149 display. The sounder and plotter are working fine.
 
I would recommend turning down the RAIN and SEA settings to MANUAL, ZERO. Then putting the GAIN to manual and crank it all the way up; then see what you have. It would be better to troubleshoot with one of our phone techs while you are on the boat.
 
I looked through the manual and could not find a tech support phone number to call. What is it?

I doubt that it is just the gain. The line that sweeps around in circles isn't sweeping on the display. I don't know what that line is called. I did loosen and tighten the cable connectors on the back of the display but no change.
