We have a non working Raytheon GL-9 small boat radar; probably 10 to
20 years old?

Investigations seem to indicate that the receiver section of the
printed circuit board of the mast mounted scanner, transmitter
receiver unit is defective. It appears that there is no noise reading
at TP5 (test point) on the receiver/modulator PCB CNM179 printed
circuit board. The complete mast unit is numbered # M52559.

Other functions (e.g. the controls of display unit) seem to be OK.

Some of the parts seem to be made by JRC (Japan radio Co.).

We were able to download the user/installation manual but not a
deailed circuit diagram and test readings.

Anybody have any advice about the possibility of having the mast unit
repaired, hopefully somewhere in eastern Canada.

Any advice appreciated.

Are you sure the model is GL-9? I'm pretty sure that the original
AutoHelm radar model was RL-9.

Peter: My mistake, it IS RL-9; thanks for the correction. Mention as
RayMarine and Raytheon etc.
BTW although not a ham I am based in VO1xx land, not far from where,
in Dec. 1901, Marconi 'received' the first Transatlantic wireless
signal from Cornwall England. Also an associate of VO1GXG, who,
recently licensed, is alleged to be the newest and youngest radio
amateur in this province.
