FCV 587 with 165T-50/200-SS260

[Gaspar]

I will install a Tz3 TZT12F system on my boat with the DFF3D but I already have one fish finder FCV 587 installed with a Airmar B260 transducer.
I want to replace this transducer and install a 165T-50/200-SS260.

My question is, with this new transducer it is possible connect to both devices and work at the same time?

Note that the existing B260 will normally be better than the B164 elements included in the 50/200-SS260 combo transducer. If the question is, Can you run both a sounder the the DFF3D at the same time, the answer is yes. Depending on the freqs used, you can run two network fishfinders and one multi-beam at the same time on the TZT3 or TZT2.

Is there a better chirp transducer with the B260 format?
That also works with DFF3D.

Being the DFF3D is not CHIRP and is a multi-beam sonar requiring a special 120 degree beam transducer, I would recommend starting a new thread if you have follow up questions. The basic answer is no you can't use a CHIRP transducer direct to the DFF3D.
