I have a poinpoint 7520 and a lowrance LMS 350. Can I mount the transducers right next to each other as they are on different frequencies?

The Lowrance unit operates at 192khz and the Pinpoint at 200khz. It may work or it may not. I fished with a guy that had a Garmin 240 and the Pinpoint 7520 and a Genetron running at the same time with all of them working great. With the frequency of the transducers bing so close you may get crosstalk, but the Pinpoints scroll rate is so much faster than the LMS350s that they actually may work together. It's when the returned signals from 2 sending units close to the same frequency confuse the recieving units you run into troubles. Do to the Pinpoints much faster pinging of the bottom the Lowrance may not even pick it. The only way to know for sure is to try it, or get a 50khz/192khz transducer for the 350a and run it at 50khz. Good luck.

I'm currently running a Pinpoint 7520 and an eagle optima (same as lowrance). They seem to work okay together. My transducers are about 3 feet apart, both on the transom.

Mounted them right next to each other, and the worked great. No interference.
Thanks!
