How can I download jrc plot 500f manual from that link?

This device if the manual is right uses an RS232 connection, what you are goiung to look for is a nine (9) pin connection it will look similar to your VGA connection on your computer. Do not connect the cable to your VGA connection, the nine pin connector will connect to the gps unit and the other end of the connector will connect or at least should connect to your computers com1 one connection or maybe the usb connection not sure. Should note that this unit has been dicontunued and the only manuals i could find were in Japanese which i don't speak, but that should be your connection.

Hope this helps

I have the service manual for this GPS and it doesn't list the wire colors directly for the plug. This much I'm sure of:
RED-12 VOLTS (+)
BLACK-GROUND (-)
GREEN IS COMMON AND HOOKS TO CHASSIS OF GPS
THAT LEAVES THE BROWN AND YELLOW, BASED ON STANDARD DIN WIRE COLORS THE YELLOW IS LIKELY GPS OUPUT. HERE IS THE LINK TO THE SERVICE MANUAL. IF YOU OPEN UP THE UNIT THE WIRE COLORS SHOULD BE PRINTED ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT THE PLUG IS ATTACHED TO.

Hello,

the unit is having a software problem. The system file of the unit is corrupt that's why its misbehaving.

You need to update the unit using firmware update, this should repair the corrupt file(s).

After install the firmware of your GPS, the problem should be solved.

Good luck.

It appears to have a computer interface,It uses an RS232C Interface, a small D9 Socket on unit, you need a specially wired cable, to talk to your unit, with GPS software, it sends out NEMA codes to the PC. You also need driver, and software, software at the least. www.jeppesen.com/documents/.../FullCompatabilityListAug09.pdf software compatibility list above.

I looked but couldn't find a manual...

Yes. There used top be a download at www.jrcamerica.com but I can't find it now. I bought the required null modem cable, used the intended J-NAV LINK 2300 softaware and still got the ERROR msg. If you figure it out let me know, because loading waypints/routes is very timely.

If you have checked the magnetron current and it is normal, then the issue with the X band radar not showing target echoes could be due to a few reasons:

1. Antenna: Check the antenna for any physical damage or corrosion. A damaged antenna can cause a weak signal or no signal at all. If the antenna is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
2. Transceiver: Check the transceiver for any damage or malfunction. The transceiver is responsible for transmitting and receiving the radar signals. If it is not working properly, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
3. Cabling: Check the cabling for any damage or loose connections. Faulty cabling can cause a weak signal or no signal at all. Make sure all connections are secure and the cabling is not damaged.
4. Signal Processing Unit: Check the signal processing unit for any damage or malfunction. The signal processing unit is responsible for analyzing the radar signals and displaying the target echoes. If it is not working properly, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the radar yourself, it may be best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

If the handset and antenna have been checked and found to be functioning properly, there may be an issue with the transmitter itself. It could be a problem with the wiring or circuitry, or possibly a malfunctioning component. It would be best to have the JRC World Marine Transceiver inspected and repaired by a qualified technician or the manufacturer.
