todd, another question for oyu buddy. this is john again, NOT the mrs. i messed up my password and had ot login under the wifey,lol.
anyway. my question. does it matter what power cord one uses on a unit? i have the 240 and the 510c. only have 1 power cord though. do i need another cord for the 240? i know i need another cord anyway. to operate the 2 units. i was just trying to power up the new to me unit and it wouldn't come on. i checked the cord with a testing light and it shows power going through it. thanks! |

You can mount the antenna directly to the boat with studs and nuts, but your 12 W antenna for the 240 is also compatible with the quick mount, ideally that's what you need - QM-1 113-92

Need a little help please. I have a Lowrance 520. Occasionally it starts giving me position acquired/position lost audible alarms. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does it will drive you crazy going off every minute. I tried turning off alarms but that didn't work. I turned volume down so at least i couldn't hear them. Is there another option.

I don't have access to a unit right now, but I would have thought that disabling all alarms would have taken care of this specific one, but if it didn't, then yes the only other way is turning volume down.

Todd, I'm asking for our buddy Bamabassman...the antenna for his LMS-240 is bad, he believes. Can he use a 3000 or 4000 version antenna? From what I can see, he has a LGC 12w antenna...is that his only option? Thanks.

Yes, 12W is what he needs, 2000 - 4000 antennas won't work.
