Deleted. Wayne answered the question properly.

To display MEGA 360 on the SOLIX units, it has to be connected to a SOLIX unit.
To display MEGA 360 on a Helix it has to be connected to a Helix.
MEGA 360 is not shared between Helix and SOLIX units like MEGA LIVE is.

ok thank you Wayne

So even if you have Helix & Solex units networked with the ethernet switch box , Mega 360 will only be displayed by whichever unit you have it connected to ? I understand the 360 being connected into transducer input of whichever unit you would choose but thought they would share 360 by ethernet. Currently running all g3n Helix12, but was considering a used Solex as a possible upgrade.

MEGA 360 can be shared among SOLIX/APEX units via Ethernet. It has to be connected to a SI+ or DI+ unit. A first generation SOLIX will not run it.

MEGA 360 can be shared among Helix units. It has to be connected to a SI+ or DI+ unit and will also share to a G2N unit, not a first generation unit. Your Helix 12 G3N has to be SI+ or DI+, the CHIRP model will not run it.

SOLIX and Helix units can share waypoints and Ethernet accessories==MEGA 360 is not an Ethernet accessory.

Thanks Wayne, I guess I forgot about MEGA 360 NOT being an ethernet accessory !

What about SI data from the 360 ducer? Can it be shared from a helix to solix? Anyone tried?

Not with a MEGA 360, only waypoints and Ethernet accessories can be shared between SOLIX and Helix.

BTW, 360 is Side Imaging that rotates.
