Panoptics Live Scope and HB mega interference?

I am planning some upgrades before spring. Currently running HB Helix 10s first gen. For the bow I am planning on changing the TM to the 112 Ultrex with Mega DI TD, new HB Mega DI Gen 3 which will be networked to the console SI unit and TM. I also want to add the Panoptics LiveScope and a unit up front on a stand alone TD mount. Has anyone ran a HB along side of the Garmin and if so do you get any interference on the LiveScope, sonar or DI?

Appreciate the info.

The Livescope runs a frequency range of 530-1,100KHz

Any sonar with a frequency in that range may cause some interference.

That said, the Livescope sonar beam is 20 degrees wide in the forward view, so most times you may not be pointing it into the other sonar coverage area.

If you do get interference, you can change the frequency on the HB units to a lower freq. such as 455.

I have not run a Mega unit at the same time but have run the older 455/800 transducers with the Livescope with no problems.

I run Birds at my console, Livescope only at the bow. Yes I get some interference on my Birds at the console the few times I've left the Livescope on and deployed and started by big motor to idle my boat a short distance to another brushpile. Most of the times I sleep my units at the console when using Livescope. I'll check for interference next time out.

I wouldn't want to ever lower the frequency of my HB Mega units to 455, kinda defeats the reason on having a Mega unit IMO.
Also been running the Livescope only on the bow for over a year now, so far I haven't had the need for using anything else, maybe could use mapping at times but not 2d, DI or SI, IMO.

I have mega+ SI 'bird at console and PLS on the bow. I have not noticed any interference, but I don't use them at the same time. Not an issue IMO.
