Title: Need Some Help, interference problems on 898
Post by: calli1 on September 19, 2013, 05:43:45 PM
Ok....I'm in the process of nailing down what my problem is here.  I know it has to do with wires probably touching somewhere.  When I added this to my trolling motor...this is on my down image only with some small interference when on side image setting but nothing like this.  I have added some filter/chokes but no luck. 

This interference is when the trolling motor is not on also.    Now...this white looking interference would have continued across if I had left along long enough.  Any ideas.......

This interference is when the trolling motor is not on also.  And if I would have let it...the interference would have covered the entire screen.

Its a flaw with the software. I just went through this myself after upgrading software 6.64.
I did a restore and it went away. Run it today for about 3 hrs and still hold good after I installed the 6.740 software update. If you look under the 898 post you will see more info about it.

This is a known bug in the DI Enhance Sharpness setting...(started somewhere around 6.570)...

Set the DI Sharpness to Off...

Well....went ahead an installed the new 6.740 software.  I had already updated my 1198 with this and went online at Humminbird and downloaded the latest for the 898.  Seems ok now.
