My new TZtouch2 is configured with an older Airmar 600W transducer using model 525STID-MSD (as suggested) and set on "HI" frequency and "Auto" range. On startup I get what looks like the correct depth, but quickly I experience what I call "data dropouts", where the depth alternates from a valid number to "---" about every 30-60 seconds. When underway, I am also seeing the reported depth shoot to very (unreasonably) high numbers, such as 1500 feet and higher. When I reboot the TZtouch2, the data seems to normalize, only to soar once again in a few minutes.
I have done the obvious things, such as verifying a reliable connection from transducer. Am I seeing signs that this transducer is incompatible with my TZ? What else can I check? Thanks.
