ice fishing electronics

[vinnimon]

If two of use drilled our holes.in one the view,the other a fish finder,the other a flasher and so on.Will the signals interfere with each other.I have seen this happen on my boat,between a depth sounder and a fishfinder.What would be a good distance between holes,so this doesnt happen,but still close enough to monitor them at the same time.

Most electronics interfere with each other. It's nothing new. No big issue.

from my experiance a flasher and a graph will interfer but i have never had a problem with two flashers in one area.. i could be wrong i usualy fish alone but when i have fished with other anglers using flashers i have had no problems but always with sonar units.

if you have a different ping speed on each unit it helps to reduce interference

I guess if i did the math with cone angles and depth,I could figure out the spacing between holes.The aqua view was my main concern.Possiby throwing off signals.I was ice fishing last year,my finder showed fish,and looking threw the view there was nothing.10 fow,very clear,no fish on the monitor,but lots on my finder.My hummingbird was brand new,so was the view.

ping speed?frequency?Or is that the rate that the unit sends and receives signals?

the fishfinder should show the camera as a solid line that doesn't change and will not affect the fishfinder any other way

As I do recall seeing that line also,thank you,that drove me nuts.friggin ballistic.Iknow a lot a airation(turbulance) in the water can play havic on the fish finder also.

oh and ping speed is the space between each ping(signal bust)

Thank you sir for the info.happy holidays to you as well.Ill go see if the wife will give me the H/J for xmass.
