As I stated in another post, I know nothing about radar. I recently purchased a Raymarine C120 system. It was purchased from an estate sale and sold As Is, since it belonged to a gentleman that recently passed and his son was handling the sale. I bought it because the price was right and I was willing to take the risk.
Now, with all that said-- I have the Unit connected to the Radar Dome (with the top off). I will call the unit -- a Monitor (for lack of a better word). The monitor boots up, and under certain condition, the Dome (is array the right word?) will turn.
So essentially I have a functioning radar? The monitor boots to a page showing navigational display of an area in Miami, Fl.
I downloaded a manual, but so far I haven't figure how to determine if this is working as it should
*****side note** -- The unit is on my work bench -- not on a boat, if that makes a difference.
Can someone offer a suggestion(s) on what I need to do at this stage to say if the unit is working as it should. Or, perhaps tell me what I need to do to complete a bench test.
In other words, I am attempting to do brain surgery without knowing what a brain looks like
Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
