Does anyone have any experience using this combo? I just purchased a Helix 10 G4N to replace an old 1198c. Have the new HDSI MSI ducer and want to use an Airmar TM150C. I see now Airmar makes a direct plug in TM150 to HB. Will it work with the Y-cable for MSI ducer? Can I set the frequencies for the Airmar and just let it go? Any guidance?
Thanks...N

I do not know what the frequency capability of the Airmar is ...
I do know that you have control of the CHIRP frequency ranges (2d/DI/SI) by accessing the “CHIRP Configuration” Menu under the Sonar tab ...

Thanks.....Well here is what I found out from HB....Not that helpful, but some info.
It SHOULD work....Not a great answer coming from a company that has an entire PDF dedicated to all the airmar products they support. It will work directly connected. If I use it with the Y cable, I can set frequencies (95-155) by hand.
I guess thats the best I can get. When i asked if they tested any with the Y-cable, They reacted like i had 3 heads. I mean come on......thats probably the most used option!!
Anyways, the ducer arrives tomorrow. Will test and post back. Honestly, the easiest solution for all this mess is to put 2 ducer inputs on all these screens. Solves a bunch of issues and less cables to worry about!

Hi NickD
Did you get it and try it? Are both transducers working?
I am also interested and would be happy to have a concrete test. Thank you.
