Help - Lowrance LCX-28C - GPS - not working

[jp]

I have the above Lowrance depth finder and the GPS isn't connecting. I've looked at just about erverything. I updated the software and executed soft & hard resets. I've even turned on the unit, removed the GPS, and it states "GPS Module Not Responding". So I know it's trying to hook up. Lastly, my brother has the exact same model. I plced on his boat and it locked in utilizing his antenna. So, it must be the antenna is the issue.

Does anyone has experience with gps antenna's?

Secondly, does anyone know if the GPS antenna can be repaired? These are extremely expensive and I'm hoping it can be.

Thanks for any information.

man sure your antenna has power if you have the puck antenna,,it has to have power to it,I got a lowrance 3300c and it has to have 12 volts to puck. if not i get the same message

Put your antenna on your brother's boat and try it. They can't be repaired, buy a new one or go to bassboatcentral web site sometimes they used ones for sale.

Make sure it has it's own power supply if not it will not work. I have the same one and had the same problem. Once I gave it it's own power supply I have not had any problems

Unfortunately I had the same issue with the same model. Those pucks are notorious for going bad.
