ok, i bought the
radar (with the
radar dome) for $100, so i am not out much
money, but still, it is a lot of
money. it is lacking a
power cord, and the
power connector has (

) wires soldered to it. i am somewhat adept at
electronics, so i have at my disposal a DMM, oscilloscope with 1X and 10X probes (200Mhz i think), and a digital logic analyzer. i have not worked on a radar before, so i am hesitant to dive into it yet. perhaps i don't need to yet.
anyway, the dome cord was cut and spliced, so that could be suspect. but i connected it all up (dome -> display, and 12V -> scary power wires). it draws some power, but nothing turns on, or even lights up. i have checked the
fuses, and both are (

) wrapped in tin foil (will change for real
fuses as soon as i buy some). so, albeit scary, the radar is getting power. i have a PDF manual from
Raymarine, though the scan quality is poor, so the schematics are hard to read.
any idea how i can proceed in getting this scary radar to
work? i hate to think i wasted $100, and have to spend much, much more to buy a new radar.
thanks in advance for any help.
