      huntthomasAug 2, 2025
      If your Simrad Marine GPS System receiver fails to power on, check the following: Ensure the polarity of the power leads is correct. Inspect the power cable connectors for damage and proper connection. Confirm the power input voltage is within the range of 6 to 36 VDC. Verify the power source provides sufficient current (minimum > 1.0 A).

      Jason JonesAug 7, 2025
      If you are not receiving data from MX575C/ MX575D (NMEA -0183 connection) on your Simrad Marine GPS System, take these steps: First, check the receiver's power status using an ammeter to make sure it's powered on. Then, verify that the messages you want are activated, using the CDU or the $JSHOW command in a terminal program. Ensure the baud rate of the GPS compass matches the receiving device. Finally, check the integrity and connection of the power and data cables.

    What causes random data from the smart GPS compass on my Simrad HS80?
    • J
      James BooneAug 17, 2025
      If you are getting random data from your Simrad Marine GPS System's smart GPS compass, first verify that RTCM or binary messages are not being output accidentally by sending a $JSHOW command. Next, ensure that the baud rate of the smart GPS compass matches that of the remote device. If the problem persists, the volume of data requested might exceed the current baud rate's capacity; try using 19200 as the baud rate for all devices or reduce the amount of data being output.

    What to do if Simrad HS80 has no SBAS lock?
    • M
      Megan LopezAug 27, 2025
      If your Simrad Marine GPS System is not locking onto SBAS satellites, first ensure the smart GPS compass has a clear view of the sky. Next, verify the lock status of SBAS satellites using the CDU. Set SBAS mode to automatic using the $JWAASPRN,AUTO command. Note that SBAS lock is only possible within an appropriate SBAS region, and availability is currently limited in the southern hemisphere.
