RDP-139 help needed

[Anonymous]

I have a new to me RDP-139. I have a new bathy chart installed. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get more contrast between the chart color and the contour line color. The manual talks about the contour soft key but I don't get that option with anything I have tried. I am hoping that someone with more experience can help me out.

From the plotter screen, try:
MENU – CHART SETUP – CHART DETAILS – CNTOUR LINE

I don't have the contour line option.

In your case it is the second screen shot. DEPTH INFO that you will need to hit.

Sorry for my ignorance. I come from raymarine equipment.
I also figured out that my radar overlay isn't working. It worked at the end of last year when I bought the boat.

This is the screen for depth info.

Radar overlay requires heading (not COG but real heading).
The first time when it worked your autopilot or heading source was on and your unit had heading. Please check your heading source for power. You can play with the depth and spot sounding settings to adjust it to show bathy based on your preferences. You might also check the software version in the display to make sure you are running current software.

Thanks
We did a lot of re-wiring this winter. I will have to double check every thing.
My unit was sent back to Furuno this winter and I believe that they updated the software while it was there.
