Lowrance / Hummingbird Question
I am considering adding down imaging to my boat. Currently have Lowrance units on console and bow. I was considering purchashing the HB 596c HD DI, putting the transducer on the transom and the unit on the console next to the HDS-7.
My intent is to use the hummingbird solely for down imaging. It seems to be the cheapest way to add di versus buying the Lowrance bundle. Also let's me have a 5" screen for my downimaging while keeping full screen sonar on the Lowrance or splitting the Lowrance screen with maps.
Are any of you running a set up similar to this? One concern I had was the possibility of interferrence between the Lowrance and HB with both transducers being mounted on the transom and running at the same time.
Please share if you have any experience or input on running this type combination or one similar. That particular HB unit is only $399 right now.
