Can this transducer switch be used......
« on: March 25, 2013, 10:44:53 PM »
I was looking at this switch-

http://fishfinders.factoryoutletstore.com/details/36551/humminbird-us3-w.html?category_id=20043

I have a 998HD on the console and a 778c on the bow. I've had interference from the US2 and the trolling motor. Is it possible using this switch to use the HDSI transducer on the transom for both graphs simultaneously?

Not simultaneously.  The switch will allow you to use one transducer and switch between two units.  Only one unit can use the transducer at a time. 

Why not go with ethernet and then you can use both at same time.  Of course the 778 will not be able to see any of the SI or DI screens like the 998.
