Can MEGA Live and MEGA 360 be used at the same time?

MEGA Live 1 and MEGA 360 can be used together.  MEGA 360 can be in-view on one unit while MEGA Live 1 is in-view on a different unit, but the following conditions exist:

On all systems, MEGA 360 can be in-view on one unit while MEGA Live 1 is in-view on a different unit.  

 

It is possible that you will see interference (talk or noise) between the two products.  We recommend the following:

  • Most Important: All units on the boat must be on the same Ethernet Network.  
  • The Interference Rejection/Avoidance feature in the MEGA Live 1 should be On.  The options are:  Off, Low, Medium and High.  We recommend that the menu be set to Low.  Low is the default setting.  Mega Live 2 does not have an Interference Rejection/Avoidance setting.
    • On HELIX this setting is in the Accessories Tab under Mega Live.
    • On XPLORE/SOLIX/APEX this menu is in the Main Sonar Menu under Home/Settings/Sonar.

Moving cables, changing the 2D noise filter or changing frequencies will not be effective for this issue.
