One transducer, two displays at the same time

[MrBigStuff]

I bought a boat with two separate Lowrance fish finders. Same 192kHz transducers, slightly different display units X65,X85 if I recall correctly. They interfere with each other so you can't run both of them at the same time. What I'd like to do is run the two displays off the one transducer. I suspect this is not possible. However, I see they have switch boxes to connect two displays to one transducer but they don't fully explain how this works. I suspect you can only switch between either display, not use both at the same time. I'm betting the problem is they both want to drive the transducer. Anybody know of a way this can be done?

You can switch between same transducer between two units, but the unit cannot operate simultaneously.

Re: One transducer, two displays at the same time

Thanks Dan, that's what I thought. Sure would be nice to be able to do so. Currently, with a 17' boat and the transducers at opposite ends, the cones do not conflict until the water depth gets to about 8'. Unfortunately, most of my fishing is in 5-15' of water. I thought about getting transducers with tighter cones but was hoping there was a way to share a transducer before heading down that path. Thanks again for your input!
