Original dragonfly and axiom

[Cagillis70]

Hi Chuck,
Just curious if I can run an original dragonfly alongside my axiom 9 lh3.1. The ONLY reason id like to is to have a fish alarm which the raymarine programmers dont seem to think is an important feature. Thanks,
Cody

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Cody,

As the DownVision elements of a Dragonfly transducer CHIRP across the same frequencies used by the RealVision 3D, DownVision, and SideVision elements of an Axiom RV transducer, it is possible that under periods of simultaneous operation that some noise may be observed within the imaging produced by both system. However, should the Dragonfly display be configured to display CHIRP (conical) sonar, then I would expect that any resulting noise within the image would be minimal. CHIRP (conical) sonar would typically be used for marking fish, whereas DownVision would typically be used for finding and identifying bottom/underwater structure.
