We have an 841 with optional display in pilot house, on passage main display went dark and hdg sig missing came up on remote display with no signal. Pressing power switch on main display resulted in just a flash no start up. Disconnect cable to main display it lights up fine. Further testing and plug 801 on md board in scanner appears to be where issue begins. With this unplugged, display will light up, plug it in and display goes dark again and so scanner does not power up. The md board is not a board to replace in remote Tongan anchorage. Option and question as follows. We can aquire a used 801 mk2 scanner and can not determine if it is a plug and play swap possibility. This would resolve it and we could be up and running quickly. To change cable at this point is not an option due to having to remove radar arch etc,,,not happening inTonga. Q, is the cable and scanner a match from 841 to 841 Mk 2 as such can we plug and play? Many thanks in advance for any input. Sort of stuck here in paradise.
