Big John-----Sorry for the delay. I havent been back on the board since posting.
Many thanks for the offer of the "loaner",but I have a policy of not borrowing other fishermens gear to fish with because if it should die while in my posession I'd be replacing two units instead of one.
I was hoping to find someone closer with a module I could use for just a few minutes to determine if it was in fact the module, or if it was in my unit.
No matter now anyway---I shipped the module to Lowrance on Monday. I'll wait for their reply.
It isnt that I cant still go fishing----like the rest of you, I fished for years without GPS. I'm just spoiled with all the toys.
Many thanks for your offer

Not a problem, this ones been loaned out a few times and still works, lol. It just sits on my dash in my truck, been there all year, been meaning to put it on the boat somewhere.
The offer still stands if ya want, I'll be coming up Thursday afternoon and stopping at AJ's, I can leave it there for you. I undersand your policy, but if it breaks you will only have to buy one, Lowrance will replace yours for free. Set your policy aside and use mine for now, it's just collecting dust.
Let me know, you can pick it up at AJ's Thursday afternoon.
OK Big John, you convinced me. Now that was hard, wasn't it??? Tell AJ I'll be by Friday morning to pick it up.
Thanks again Big John

OK, it's a 2000 I think, but is compatible with 3000., When I upgraded to my current unit they did not send me a new 3000 module, they told me my old 2000 (same as my spare) was fine to use. So when you get it, don't be alamred that it is not a 3000, it will work fine.

OK Robbie, now that I twisted your arm talked you into it, I figured I better call Lowrance and make sure I was right. I was right, however they sent me a red conversion cable with my new unit to make the 2000 work with it. Sooooo, I lied, it wont work, sorry about that bud.
