Hi, I have a Furuno 1712 with a radome RSB-0087 RTR068. It worked fine until it started to lose all the targets including land after the second turn.
When I change the scale, sometimes it picks it all up again for one turn and they disappear.
I removed the lid, the antenna turns fine and I cleaned and greased all the connections which made no improvement. In some rare cases it works fine for a few minutes and then it plays up again.
I was told it is probably the MIC that is faulty, is there anything else that could cause this fault?
I love my radar and would like to fix it if possible. The MIC is S-RX350 / RU-9458 and the Magnetron E3588.
I found a second hand "new never mounted" radome RSB-0071 RTR057, is it worth purchasing this unit and stealing parts of it if they are compatible, please?
