Hi Johnny, I don't know if you can run both Maxsea and Trident simultaneously and control radar and sounder from both, assuming on different pc's, but assume it is possible as both Trident and Maxsea are the same. I have Maxsea running in 2 separate computers in my boat to add redundancy with both controlling the DFF3 with no problems. Just make sure to assign 2 different IP addresses to the PC's. I am now adding a DRS12 radar and expect the same thing to happen. The Maxsea/Trident radar interphase looks to be quite easy for operating the radar, in fact probably easier than the sounder which in itself is also easy thanks to the direct buttons for adjusting gain.
