Ok sorry for the delay of pics, but after being the winner of THE DUMD *** AWARD I just finished the wiring last night.

Just an FYI when splicing cat5 cable DO NOT STRIP THE ENDS OF THE WIRE. I have never messed with it, so like any other wiring project ,strip the wire, install the wire nut etc., in this case, slide the end on ,crimp ,plug in, then the radar works.

Oh hell no. Spent all day trying to find the problem, on the phone with tech support, was getting ready to start replacing all the wiring. My wife was looking at a cat5 cable in the office and said this wire was not stripped. Man a light bulb went off and hour later. When I stripped the ends of the wire the were frayed, when the plug was installed all of the ends were touching one another and caused it not to work.

Thought you would enjoy the story. I will clean up the mess and get the riggers on this week and will post some pics.
