Hi all,

Has anyone ever installed an NKE autopilot (gyro 3) on a Hanse 370?
The LCD screen on my Simrad AP16 had become unreadable, so something had to be done.

The NKE seem very delicate to configure, so any advice would be welcome.

Best Regards from Lanzarote
Jef

une solution qui marche quand l'écran est devenu illisible, 
paramètre et diminuer le contraste à zéro ;
c'est ce que j'ai fais sur mon AP24
et ça marche

The problem with the Simrad LCD screen wasn't just a matter of contrast. At its best, it looked like this: 



Against all odds, I found an electrician in Arrecife who managed to fix it for less than €300.
I now have two main pilots (the new NKE and the old Simrad) with a switch. 
And the Raymarine EV-100 on the helm as a backup or in light airs. 

For solo sailing, this is actually an advantage. 

Does anyone know the settings for the NKE?
