Duel GPS Can It Be Done?

Submitted by Big Kev on Thu, 2007-11-29 12:44

I'm the new owner of a boat that has a EAGLE Chart Plotter / Sounder combined I also have in my possesion a EAGLE Chart Plotter. My question is can I run the EAGLE combo as a Sounder and the other EAGLE unit as a Plotter with both units mounted along side each other? Does anyone know if this is possible. Will the 2 units operate ok or will they need to be seperated further apart? Any info will be appreciated, Cheers.

I run lowrance Plotter and sounder side by side without any wories. If you are asking can both be used as GPS units connected to the same antena then this can also be done without any probs.
I think a lot of boaties prefer to have "stand alone" plotter and sounder these days.


Any day fishing is a great day !!
