Airmar ST700 transducer and MFD12/8 v2.07 upgrade

[Anonymous]

Does the navnet/mfd8-12 v2.07 software upgrade work with the Airmar ST700 speed/temp transducer?

The st700 is not made anymore and the new version, of course, no longer fits the thru-hull--curse the bloody design engineers. So, since we've upgraded to v2.07, the st700 doesn't show up in the transducer drop down menu in the "Sounder" folder.

It may seem obvious that the answer is "no," but is there a workaround or particular choice that allows them to communicate? We do not get temperature reading though depth reading is fine. It could be a bad sensor, but we want to try everything software related before replacing.

Any thoughts? :questions

Bermudasloop,
The ST-700 is an older analog speed/temp sensor and couldn't be connected directly to an MFD-8/12. The ST-700 could have been connected to a analog/NMEA convertor or could have been connected to one of our sounder modules. If it were connected to a sounder module the speed and temp source would have appeared in the Installation Wizard as that module and not the ST-700. Hope this helps.
