I have a Furuno 1832 on a recently purchased Cruisers 400 Express. This radar receives navigation data from a Northstar 958 GPS using NMEA0183 data exchanges.
I can see the position data from the Northstar GPS on the Furuno radar display so I know there is data being transferred.
What I see when operating the 1832 is that the radar completes a cycle, then it completes a second cycle okay and then on the next cycle it blanks the screen (erases the entire image) and then the image rotates 90 degrees (same image 90 degrees rotation clockwise) even though the boat is traveling straight ahead. The entire time there is a message being displayed: "Hdg Sig Missing"
I don't have a heading sensor installed, just the GPS mentioned above. Here are the data messages that the Northstar is sending to the Furuno 1832:
APB
GLL
WPL
ZDA
What could be the problem?
