Welcome back to the Raymarine Forum rsqunit

Q1. In such designs, the MFD connected to the SeaTalkng backbone must be POWERED ON for the other MFD to interact with the backbone, right?
A1. Correct. Alternatively, you may want to consider interfacing both MFDs to the backone.

Q2. Is it OK to connect both MFDs to SeaTalkng or will this cause issues?
A2. Yes.

Q3. I'm hoping this will allow me to turn either MFD on or off and still have full functionality from whichever MFD is powered up. Note: Both MFDs will have the same set of charts, so the charts are not an issue.
A3. It is not recommended that two of any one type of chart card (Navionics, LightHouse, C-Map) providing coverage for the same geographic are be simultaneously present with the readers of the system's MFDs.

Q4. The Q24C Documentation says "a network switch can be used to connect the unit to more than 1 multifunction display" so I assume both MFDs can utilize/control the radar, even if one of the MFDs is powered off. Is this correct?
A4. Correct.
