I need to update my 597(v5.820 current) and 798 (v5.840 current), can you put both updates on the same SD card and then install them one at a time?
I also have some questions on RF interference on the sticky if someone could answer them. Thanks!

Some say it's not a good idea...(myself included)...
Some say they do it all the time...
Is it worth locking up either unit....??

So download and update one and then clear the sd card and do the other is fine?
Yes that is the safest way do one at a time then you know fo rsure there will be no problems
It is always a good idea to have your present version of software on a separate formatted SD card so that if something goes awry in the update process...the unit can be reverted back to a "working" software version...
So in the case of 2 different units..
1 SD card with present version of software for the 597...
1 SD card with new version of software for the 597....
Then format the cards and do the same for the 798..
Or have 2 extra SD cards (total of 4)...
1 with present version of software for the 798..
1 with new version of software for the 798...
SD cards are cheap... A few extra $$ in SD cards can save a lot of aggrivation when having problems with software updates..(especially on the water)...
