    Is there another sonar running at the same time...??

    Does this happen only when the TM is running...??

    Is it hooked up to the TM battery? This will cause interference when the TM is being used.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    Can you hook it up to a completely different battery?
    I got a separate small 12 volt from Amazon, works well
