    i just climbed in my boat and tested the pl-259 antenna connector and it is showing no continuity between the center pin and the outer shield.which i believe is how it should be cause there is a plastic tube that sepperates the the inner core wire from the outer shielding wire.if you are showing continuity between the two,i would think theres a short somewhere in the wire or the antenna itself and if thats the case,trying to transmit with a shorted antenna probably isnt good for the radio.

    ty much. I get so many comments some saying it shouldn't and some say it is. The tech at West Marine says it should read as a dead short. Not taking any chances so new antenna ordered . It's a new radio so playing it safe.

  2. The yellow dial is your depth gauge. Set your ball at the water surface and then set the dial at 0 and the auto stop should stop at the surface. Not sure about the ones you have but mine has a little indicator on the dial and you can set  at a depth for if you're running stackers and it will stop the rigger at that depth. It will also make the switch manual and won't lock on.  

  3. What I found my problem to be is I didn't have a battery switch on my boat and wired it to my fuse block. In that case even when my GPS unit was turned off my puck was still getting power 24 7. Now have everything on it's own switch and installed a battery switch as well. All been good for 7 yrs now (knock on wood).
