Transducer Question

Can you mount 2 individual dual-beam transducers on the transom? If so how far apart? What's the likelihood of x-talk?

Specs #1: 50/200 kHz, 10-40d cone angle, 500W
Specs #2: 77/200 kHz, 60-120d cone angle, 500W/4,000W

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

What Niko said. no dice. It requires sophisticated rigging so they don't interfere... when we tow side-scan (500 kHz) the single-beam has to be turned off (both 50 and 200 interfere)

Thanks. That is what I thought would happen but needed to ask.

Just put them each on different frequencys one on 77 and the other on 200
I have 4 machines. a koden 50Hz in the tower, another scitex 120 on the dash, the garmin 50/200 combo unit and a furuno 28/200 main fishfinder they are fine. Only interference is when I have the same frequencys going

I ran two but they were different frequency and did not have a problem. Before installing I called the company and asked them and they said it will work. I think if they are the same freq though you are hosed.
