Lowrance 7 elite and 8 hds gen 2

[DixieDangle]

I'm contemplating adding a hds 8 gen 2. Can anyone give me direction on how to use one transducer for both units.

I plan on using the elite 7 as mainly chartplotting and running a garmin tr1 AP from this so the nmea 0183 connection will already be used. The hds used for fish finding.

Im pretty sure that you cant share a transducer between an elite and an HDS unit. They both have to be HDS units with ethernet or both Elite Ti to share by wifi

I am attempting to hook up a Garmin TR1 AP. From Garmin site "The two types are RS-232 and RS-422. If you are unsure as to which standard your GPS device utilizes, please consult with the manufacturer." Which type is used. Tyvm

Response

 Is this your only chart plotter? are you using the Elite as your GPS source? Your garmin should be the GPS source. When we connect to VHF radios we use RS-422.

Can anyone clarify?
