Hi
I recently bought a used RD139 unit complete with RSB0071 dome Model 1833C. I asked the dealer to test it before I purchased it so it would be a working solution
When I collected it, he showed me a photo of the RDP139 displaying it as working. I took his word for it
I noticed the radar cable had been cut and spliced about 1 foot from the RDP139 unit. He said it was done for removing it from the boat during the upgrade
Anyway I had to undo the splice to feed the radar cable thru the deck. But when I went to reconnect the splice I noticed I had more wires (19) on the RDP 139 side then on the Dome side (15). When I checked the 2 sides of the cable , it turned out the RDP side is the correct cable as MJ_B24LPF0002-100 for VX1 Navnet but the dome cable side is RW9079 for VX2 Navnet as dome RSB110-070-A Model 1724C
So now I am facing different color coding wiring and functions. I asked the dealer how did they manage to connect it and have it working. His answer was less than satisfactory and basically since I undid the original splicing myself, it was my problem.... Also he only gave me a power cable and a 6 pin NMEA data cable. I asked about the 7 pin female plug for GPS 320B cable and he said not included... How did he test the chartplotter/radar?
So my question is do I have to purchase a new Cable MJ-B24LPF0002-100 or try to splice it the way they had it? and where can I get my hands on a plug MJ-A7SPF ?
Currently in Langkawi Malaysia where zero support or parts can be found.... :thumbdown
