    PP Charge & Gateway - Lowrance - Anyone else doing this?

    Just wondering if anyone else has the Charge with the gateway with Lowrance graphs. I have two Carbons and one Live unit on my NMEA network and am having issues connecting and staying connected to the Charge. Am working with PP tech support, but just wondering if anyone else has this up and running?

    PP tech will get you up and running no doubt.

    Am assuming something I'm doing that is not right.

    I installed the Charge 2 days ago and everything worked fine with the Charge. I installed the Gateway and it showed up on the Device List on my HDS12 Gen2 but something with the serial number looked wrong (--73). The Power Pole side bar did not show up on the screen. Waiting on Customer Service to call be back.

    Did you turn on you bluetooth and pair your power poles to your unit. I am not sure you have bluetooth.

    Yes, Bluetooth is on and the Power Poles were already connected and working properly from the screens. The instructions for the Gateway could use some improvement. They mention an LED on the Gateway and for the life on me I cannot find that damn LED.

    I’ve had for about a month. Run 2 16” graphs and both read the charge system always. No issues from day 1

    Do you have to have the gateway for the charge to show up on the lowrance unit? I’ve linked mine, but nothing. It shows linked.

    you must have the gateway, and NMEA network for charge to display on compatible lowrance units. the connection is NMEA from charge to the lowrance not bluetooth.
