Hello, I purchased a PG 500 used from Max Marine at the suggestion of a local electronics supplier stating that furuno products have outstanding reliability. The heading sensor was purchased to supply the 1815 radar I intend to purchase with the heading information needed for true trails, ARPA, etc. The GPS will be sent out of my Humminbird Helix 10 (sorry guys, the mega side imaging is hard to beat in these units).
My initial question is in regards to positioning the pg 500 as it relates to the 1815 display unit. Ideally, i'd like to have the two close together on the dash of my Defiance Pilot House 250. My question/concern is, will there be interference if I mount the PG 500 within 6" or so of the 1815 screen? I'm leaning yes given the 1815 will have a cable for power and input from the radar but figured i'd ask the experts here.
Thanks. I'm thinking this will be the first of many questions as I'm a DIYer with only 6 or so hours of researching how nmea 0183 works and how to get it out/in my Humminbird.
