HDS Sonar Source

[WaveWacker]

So, I'm enjoying getting to know the HDS units in my fathers rig and am in the process and looking forward to switching my rig over. His rig is set up with an HDS 10 and an 8 in the back of the boat and a 7 up front. All tied together via the LSS1 box with the regular sonar transducer feeding into the 10 and then out to the 8 and 7 through the LSS1. 10 is set on source from "this unit" and the other to get it from the 10.

Odd part is that at times the source ends up switching on the units for some reason or another which in turn screws things up. It's really not a big deal now that one knows what to look for first but I'm just curious as to why this may be happening. Thought maybe it was something to do with getting the right ethernet cord (shouldn't in my mind) so marked them. Then figured maybe one shoudl make sure and start up the 10 first. Still wants to do it once in a while. Anyone else??

Thought I would give my own update to this to possibly help others. From other research I did and re-watching Doc Samson's video again. I think my problems lied with shutting down in the same manner that I did with the LCX's. That would be just holding down the power button. At times doing so in this manner will lead to not saving some of the settings. It is recommended to push/hit the power button and then scroll down to power off and hit enter.
