using marcum and vexilar

[kerryd15]

my friend has a fl-18 and we will be fishing in the same house maybe 3-5ft apart. i have done the research on both.

you can tune the noise out with both units.

Can we use the fl-18 and the lx-3 side by side? a guy at gander said the lx-3 will work fine but the vex will have issues, he also said if i'm stuck on marcum go to the lx-1 - less power so the vex will work better.

if i make his vex not work he will kick me out of the house!!!!

am i better off going with the same that he has?

does the lx-1 and vx-1 both have the green red yellow?

I've been pretty successful getting LX-3s and FL-18 to play together nice. Older FL-8 (even with IR) seem to struggle. You should be OK after the proper adjustments are made.

Ive got a VX-1 and my dad has a FL-18, we fish in a clam shack side by side with very little interferance.

However when we fish with his buddy who owns an OLD FL-8, My unit becomes useless and my dads gets really bad interferance.

The VX-1 is a 3 color unit and I have to say for the money is the best deal around. I have fished with all of them and the vex is always going to have trouble around a marcum but as will the vx-1 near a lx-3. Just wont be as bad and more likely easier to clear up. The power output is just way more in a lx-3 and lx-5 than in any of the Vex's or the VX-1.

I have fished with a vex and a Marcum side by side and after a few ir pushes we get it worked out every time.

I can get my FL18 to work pretty good next to my LX5. I adjust the MarCum and then fiddle with the Vex. One can do it. Sometimes I have a little interference in the Vex but it isnt anything that will stop me from using it.

In a Clam 5600 - fished my FL-18 next to my freinds LX-5 and had no problem. Typical recommendation is to setup one and adjust the IR on the unit having interference until it goes away.
