Hi All,
I have had my FA50 working with no issues for 4-5 years. I believe It if not transmitting as I can not see it on Marine traffic. I receive other class a and b targets from 5-6 nm. I cant say I have seen the blue light on a lot when I have looked . How often are the blue tx and orange rcv light meant to blink?
I have looked at the test setting and it thinks it is working fine. I have plugged the gps antenna into my GP30 and it worked( the antenna is inside the cabin hoop 3 ish) not ideal but it has worked that way for years.
I have re terminated the tnc end as It looked a bit average. I was going to put a t on the gp30 antenna and send it that signal as it comes from the vessel roof. The only other thing that has changed is the mount broke on the whip antenna and the base was replaced.
Logically if I can receive the whip antenna should transmit?
thanks Luke
