    ***Do not do the update on Solix & Mega Live until HB fixes this issue***

    Don't do the updates if you have not already.

    For reasons such as this, I do not miss my Mega Live. I've spent way too much time messing with the settings trying to make it work just like Jim's doing!

    So you have zero crosstalk or interference? Do you use 360 and 2D while using livescope? Bob

    I have been in 2 boats where both had 3 Solix units, 360, live and Target lock. Zero crosstalk with everything running and all the latest updates. Both boats had one Solix at console and 2 at the bow…. One we did have to re run the network set up to make everything work correctly. It’s easy to set up a new network and I know it fixed everything for us. May be worth a shot for those having problems.

    do you mean resync the units? I resync units every time so not sure I understand what you are saying. This is the first report I’ve seen where there were no issues with update on solix units

    I just purchased Mega Live. Note in package said to update Solix to at least 4.020 - I have 4.070 on units now. Maybe I should just run it with the 4.070 instead of updating to 4.130?
    I have two Solix gen 3's. A 15 at the bow and a 12 at the console. I have mega 360 and ethernet hub.

    Opinions?

    I really think HB is going to address this pretty quick and sooner or later you will have to do the 4.130

    Yes, re-sync the network. Im not able to get in the menus now. I am pretty sure we just re synced the network.

    Thanks Big Jim for this. I have all Helix units so no issues yet. Humminbird NEEDS to do better!

    Only way I can completely eliminate is to turn off every ducer on the boat for ML to provide the clarity I had prior to updating, albier M360:causes most of the interference. very frustrated!

    So, I was going to update my units this weekend. From what I am seeing, it sounds like I should wait. Is that the general consensus? I have 3 Solix's networked together, but my 360 is running on a Helix which is not connected to the network.
