Yes Fred. Agreed.
In my address to Eric, I meant him as the "you"
and I assumed he is not old enough to know what
an AM radio really is, let alone have one sitting on a shelf somewhere. :)
And as Marek points out it doesn't verify
accurate functionality with the Raymarine head,
which is the practical part anyway.
Now, how about the unreliability issue with the
temperature sensing element of the Raymarine
transducer? Is it a simple RTD and of what value,
so I can haywire something in stead of it?

Russ there actually IS a way to test depth
transducers out of the water. Hook it up and
turn on the depth instrument, then put an AM
radio near the transducer, turn it on and tune
it away from a station to static. If you then
hear a regular âtick-tick-tickâ sound coming
out of the radio which gets louder as you get
the radio closer to the transducer, then the transducer is working.

Hi Eric,
I didn't see all of your questions answered in
the batch of replies. Don't worry, it's not
unusual for this beloved group o' squirrel chasers :)
- there is no practical way for you to test the
old transducer out of the water
