Tried to use my radar yesterday and "Not available" popped up on the screen. Never seen this before. It has always worked fine. We just returned from a trailer trip to FL a month ago. Worked fine there. I thought I might have messed up a connection putting the mast down then up, but all seemed tight. Any suggestions as what to look for ?

id start by rebooting everything with house power turned off. sometimes the garmin likes to throw a tantrum.
 
Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow and let you know.
 
Hi Kent,

Gavin has it right. First try a complete cold boot. (after house power was completely shut off) And if that doesn't work, but you think that all connections are solid, then try a software update. These can easily be done by downloading the updates from Garmin's website onto an SD card. Hope this helps get you started.

Thanks!

Ralf
 
Tried reboot but no change. Turned house batteries off for 1 minute then on. Will try to download updates.
