GPS will not lock on Satellites

[MaineBoy]

I have a Lowrance LCX110c GPS/Sonar unit that will not lock onto any satellites out of the blue. I have tried "autoSearch", resetting all options, checked the wiring, etc.

Any suggestions/Tips for troubleshooting?

First guess would be a bad antenna or antenna connection. I think you are using the NMEA antenna. Note thatthe head supplies power to that antenna but it is tough to test Tthe easiest way is to find someone with a similar unit/antenna and swap units to see if it works

I had the same problem and the antenna was bad. My antenna was a LGC-3000 and Lowrance has on their web site ways to troubleshoot it. Lowrance sent me a LGC 4000 which is a newer version and it works perfect. They also gave me a very good price on it. You should contact Lowrance
