help!!! "no response 16/17"

[thudbruiser]

Can anyone help please my c8 SGT is OK to start with but after about 1.5 hrs its starts to give "no responds 16/17" on the handset. I thought it might be the power tank as it is a bit old but I have replaced it with a 7amp/13.8V bench top power supply but I still keep getting this problem. When this happens it slews and doesn't stop !

I Have also checked the connection to the mount and that is ok:icon_scratch:

Have you called the company that makes it and checked to see if there are any firmware updates for it?

I haven't, No its only a few weeks old so I thought it would be up to date

The 16/17 error means the handset has lost communication with the mount. From the Nexstar Resource Site No Response Errors . If the mount is new contact the dealer for repair or replacement.

I think I may have found out what's causing the problem. I have a GPS unit which plugs into the HC socket and the HC unit plugs into the GPS unit. Well tonight had a 2hr session with no problem that's because I did not use the the GPS,so it looks like it must be a bad connection!
