Rl 70 can it be used stand alone?

[pedrojdiaz]

i have an rl 70 a raytheon rn300 and a st 60 tri data the RN300 is showing no fix sometimes. thus the rl 70 shows no fix also. now the question is can i put a separate antenna to the rl 70 and use it stand alone. i have included pictures

Yes, you can add a RM Raystar 125 GPS unit that will give you a fix on both the RL70 and keep the RN 300 working. This thread from 2007 will help you.

can i use the rl70and the tri data conected to the ray star 125 without the rm300 conected? in other words can the raystar be connected direcly to the rl70. also does it make sense to buy a new inexpensive garmin gps chart plotter ?:lol:

If the RL70 is the combined chartplotter and radar (can't tell from picture) then yes you can retire the RN300. We had the RL70 CRC and used the RS125 and ST40 gauges.

RS125 will give you GPS signal. You can hook it up to any compatible unit to display the data.

ST60 has two versions (they have different serial numbers). One can work as a master and/or repeater (I don't remember 100% but I think the one which S/N ends with ###13). The other as a repeater only (I think this S/N ends with ###4). So, if your ST60 is ###13, then you can connect RS125 to it and let it distribute the data to other units, your RL or anything compatible via SeaTalk.
