Looking for some guidance on this unit I just purchased.  Everything seems
to be working fine except one issue, the vector lines are not showing up.  I
checked with the suppliers but the fellow just refers me back to the
instruction sheets so I doubt he's ever used the unit himself.  So here is a
rundown of how my rig is setup.  I'm using a Yaesu FT-90 coupled to the
Doppler unit. The antennas are place on the roof of my truck and cabled to
the Doppler unit, the GPS (purchased from KN2C) is connected, and so is the
computer.  I run the Navi DF2020 software along with Google Earth, followed
the instructions linking those two programs together.  When I'm driving and
hear the transmission I press the space bar and my current location is
plotted on the map, what is missing is the red vector line.  I'm moving
(that was the first suggestion from KN2C) and traveling 10-35 mph.  The Navi
app is displaying grid coordinates and bearing are changing.  The settings
on Navi are the default colors, the setting for POS is GPS and the Bearing
is DF.

 

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

GoogleEarth has a "fader" control ( slider control ) in the left sidebar...
it is called the "transparency" or the "opacity" control, it can "fade out"
items displayed on the GE display... typically it will fade out bearing
lines for almost any setting less than 100% opacity, but the station icons
will remain unless the control is set to almost zero opacity.

Google it and read how to find and use it. That is likely the cause.

The people at KN2C know about this and should have told you about it.
