[CA] [CA11] DSM300 transducer compatability

[Captaincj82]

I have DSM300, it’s not communicating, with the Airmar B256 transducer. Is this transducer comparable with the DSM300?

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum,

The transducer product name (ex. B256, P319 B260, B744V, P66, P79, etc.) identifies a family of transducers rather than a single transducer, each of which is designed for a specific manufacturer and fishfinder or instrument product offered by that manufacturer. As such, the transducer's product ID(s) should be used in determining compatibility of the transducer with Raymarine's fishfinding products. The product ID(s) of fishfinder transducers are printed on a tag which is affixed to the plug end of the transducer's cable. Should the transducer have been manufactured by Airmar, Inc. then this transducer's tag may include an Airmar part # as well as the part number of the corresponding customer (Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, etc.). Please attach a photo of the transducer's identification tag which clearly shows all information printed on the tag. With this information, we may be able to determine whether the specified transducer may be used with the DSM300.
