Why is there no signal return at any range with my APPLIED ACOUSTICS Industrial Equipment?

If you're not getting any signal return, several factors could be at play. First, make sure the RECEIVE and TRANSMIT frequencies of the beacon match those of your Alpha unit. Try using a known working beacon to rule out beacon issues. Inspect the deck cable and connectors for any damage like cuts, splits, or corrosion. Check for the presence of the pulse from Alpha at the Responder end of the cable (it should be approximately 12VDC). As a test, try positioning the transducer and a beacon on-deck and attempt to interrogate the beacon. Lastly, try moving the beacon around the transducer to eliminate the possibility of a dead spot.
