2D crosstalk between bow and console units inevitable?

[tweakjr]

Hi guys,

Anyone having success using 2D sonar on their bow unit(built-in US2 TM transducer.)
and
2D sonar on console unit(MEGA SI transducer at transom.)
without crosstalk?

I am having no success with this.
I even get a small amount of crosstalk on the 360 view which goes away when I turn off the sonar, regardless of 2D freq choices.

My setup:
17.5 ft Alumacraft

--Console: Helix 10 CHIRP SI GPS G2N
transom mounted MEGA SI transducer

--Bow: Helix 10 CHIRP GPS G2N
US2 built-in transducer on Ulterra

--360 transom mount

--Ulterra IP linked

--5 port ethenet switch


Cheers,
Scott

Just put the console unit on standby when you go to the bow - the best way to avoid crosstalk is limit the number of transducers you have running at one time. These are sensitive units and they are going to pick up chatter from other transducers. They will even pick up transducers on other boats if you are close.
