How close compass to other equip.?
I’d like to mount a compass on my dash but am concerned about interference. I have a marine radio (which has an internal GPS), and a Garmin 93sv already mounted on the dash. Are my concerns unfounded and is there an easy way to perform a functionally test?
Thanks. |

The only thing I can think of is to place the compass about where you're going to mount it and alternately power down and power up electronics in the area to see if the heading on your compass is affected. Key the mike on your marine radio also to see if it causes any interference.

Yep, do the compass test. My gut feeling says there will be interference from the radio. Think you're supposed to be 3 ft away from antenna. I feel there will be rf field around antenna cable too.
