I plan on running the x85 and the x15 at the same time on my craft. Will I have a interference problem from the two transducers? Both transducers will be mounted near each other on the back of the boat.
Thanks for the help.

Cutbait This is a problem I have ran into before, If the Khz are 8 points apart it will work. If they are not it will not work to run them at the same time. I run 1 Bottom Line and 1 Humming Bird and i run both at the same time. Both transducers are mounted in the back. The Humming Bird runs 200 Khz and the Bottom Line runs 450 Khz you could try a vexillar flasher they run around 125 Khz and they are a really nice outfit. Good Luck!!!!! HAPPY HOOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

The answer is "yes" it won't work. You'll need to get a 200/50khz transducer for either unit to run them at the same time. To explain what you'll see is vertical lines on one, or both of the screens. You can filter some of this out but you'll also decrease your ability to see fish by doing this also. I would not recommend running them without the dual frequency transducer...
