Have lowrance lcx-15mt unit with a lgc-12w antenna. Unit powers up and says "gps module not responding" I have bypassed my extension cable and brought the antenna all the way to the unit and plugged it directly in so I have eliminated a wiring problem. Does anyone know if these antennas go bad or is there a realistic chance the x15 unit went bad?
Don't want to buy a new $200 antenna and find out the x15 is bad. Anyone out there with any advice. Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the info. I'm an elctronics guy and understand it. But without a spare antenna or a mock-up I have no way to test it. Nice of you to offer the info.

are you running the current upgrades? 3.6 or 3.7 ? if not you can call lowrance, they will e-mail upgrade to you..then download it to your chip and load it on your unit...this is easiest way...have trouble trying to download from there site

If the antenna is bad, where can a replacement antenna be purchased and the cost please.
