I will spend more time adjusting some of the other settings to see if the radar functions correctly.
After messing with it for a while, it then stopped showing the land features so I don't know if it is really transmitting.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm gonna keep trying.

The picture shows you're receiving but not transmitting. You can try reseating the connections but it's doubtful you'll have any luck. You're best off to buy a used radome that works with the SL/RL series and not spend (waste) too much money on that system if it isn't in your budget to buy a new one now. Your system, even in working condition, isn't worth any more than $200-$300. Just remember, the radome needs to be an older one that works with the Pathfinder series. Even though later models look the same , they wont work with your display.
