    EVERY US2 transducer I've ever used had interference, period!
    I also have the Point1 and a NMEA network. I also have an HDS7 non touch at the console that I use for mapping so that I can use the Touch9 for full screen sidescan. All three units are linked with Ethernet and NMEA.
    The reason I didn't mention the NMEA network and the third unit is because we were talking about transducers for the touch units and I didn't want to confuse him with too much at once, sometimes I confuse myself with all the wires and cables I have ran in my boat.

    I think you have another problem causing that interference. I've never had an interference problem using the US2. My current rig is a HDS7 connected to the US2.

    I know what you mean on the wiring, my boat has a 12T and a Gen 1 7 (mapping) on the console, a LSS2 box and TD and a point 1. On the bow it has a 12T, Lss1 box and TD, and a point 1. It's all connected by Ethernet, no NMEA bow to stern.
