[C36IA] Raymarine RL70C+ donut

[Gary Davidson]

Hi Ralph,
Yeah, I posted the question at Raymarine yesterday about the same time I
posted on this site. Hopefully they'll get back to me with an answer. My
money was on the knowledgeable folks here to post an answer quicker
though!
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,

have you gone to the Raymarine site  (www.raymarine.com) and asked the
question on their customer support page?  I have found that this is a
good way to get an answer in 24-48 hours and they have always pointed me
in the right direction when I've had a problem with my equipment.  They
may already have an answer in their 'Ask Raymarine' section.

I hope this helps,

Ralph
