    MegaLive 1.20 Update with Ultrex Transducer?

    My ML been doing great with 2.76 and 1.17 so I am not updating yet but have a request. I use my Ultrex MDI built-in transducer as my sonar source on my Bow Units. I occasionally get a Sonar Pulse arc on my ML but not a lot. I saw one of the improvements in the ML 1.20 is reduction of sonar interference from various Transducers. If anyone using Built-in Ultrex transducer as their Sonar source and have updated to 1.20 could you report back if update helped you with interference? I not wanting to update unless there is indeed transducer interference reduction with an Ultrex.

    Thanks

    I run the Ultrex MDI transducer and a Mega 360 with the Y cable. I did this after the last update to try and help stop the pulses that were horrible. This helped eliminate a lot of the pulses but not all. I can say that after this update to the ML and Ultrex all the issues with pulses are gone! I believe they have also fixed some issues with their network. I was very disappointed with Humminbird after the last update but I can say this update to ML and control heads has fixed many issues and improved ML. I believe ML is now more balanced like it was when it first came out. I'm very happy!

    Whether you use the Minnkota or Humminbird transducer for 2D/DI makes no difference. It's the frequencies that cross-talk.
