360 work-around?

[Fishndav]

Does anyone have experience with using the legacy TS3 HB transducer A/B switch with a 360 or SI Transducer?

Here's the scenario: I have a Helix SI 3G on my console and a Helix DI 2G on my bow. I want to add a M360 without losing SI at the console when I need it (from the transom transducer)
I'm thinking if I use the TS3 transducer A/B switch between the 360 and SI Transducer I can switch either into the Y cable at the console 3G unit, and pull 360 over the network at the bow console 2G.

it is the only way I can think of to have everything where I need it: 360 through the DI, and still have SI when desired at the console. Anyone with actual experience using the Transducer A/B switch like this?

Thanks in advance.

I have my Apex/Solix SI+ transducer connected to my Apex 19 and my Mega 360 connected to my Apex 13 so I can use both SI and 360 at the same time. The crosstalk is very minor and can be all but eliminated by tweaking the SI and 360 CHIRP Frequency ranges so they don't overlap. Even without the CHIRP tweaking, crosstalk is minimal. You can also use different frequencies on each.

The TS3 switch has 5 circuits. You need 6 circuits for a MEGA SI transducer for a Helix 8-15.
Also I don't think CHIRP works well through that switch.

Thanks both of you for the information. It was worth a shot.
