Quick question... I have an older Raymarine R11xx radar on my boat. When I power the unit up for the day, it works fine. What I visually see, I can verify against the screen, and it matches. As the unit stays on over time, say within 15-30 mins, I notice that what I see on the screen does not match what I see visually. It does not pick up a huge majority of the boats or the shoreline. No matter how much I adjust the gain or tune, it does not change the screen but maybe for a quick second, and then it's back to being hit or miss.
Is this an adjustment on the radar or is the magnetron going bad? I'd hate to upgrade the unit because I'm on a relatively small lake and it's a bit overkill, however, I do find the radar quite useful at times. Maybe I can find a good used one somewhere or send it in for a repair.
