Flasher interference

[Jeff13]

Question for all of you about flashers interfering with each other.

Sales man the other night told me that Marcum flashers will not interfere with each other because once you get the on the same channel they will read fine. My friend tells me it doesn't matter what your using the flasher that is the more powerful one will always be clear and infere with the the weaker unit.

For example a marcum lx3 would interfere with a vx1 because its more powerful than the vX1.

Is there a clear answer to this or just opinions be tossed around, I've heard other theories as well.

Thanks.

I have seen a VX-1,LX-3 and LX-5 ducers in the same hole with no problems.... I fish mt Marcums next to a Vex alot with no issues...But if there are issues your chances of having a clean unit will be the Marcum...

I've fished my VX1 with LX3s numerous times. It takes a little playing around with the ir but in the end they both work fine. Never tried playing with a third in the same house.

Thx guys I don't think it will be an issue we are fishing Red so it's pretty shallow water. Was just curious.

Where the problem comes from is some of the older entry level units just did not have the interference rejection capabilities. Most newer units (last 8/9 years)are perfectly fine with each other. I have guys in the rentals running Marcum, Birds and Vexs together without problem, other than a little heckling back and forth over who has the better flasher.

I have seen the interference issues with the older ones first hand, especially in 30+ feet of water on lake of the woods. Johnny sold me an LX6 on Saturday, held the transducer together with a FL8 and there wasn't any feedback. Hopefully that will hold true when I am on the water as well.
