Ferrite filter products can help speed up digital devices by suppressing common mode current from RFI sources OR prevent digital devices from emitting RFI on its connecting cables and power supply lines.
Fish Finder – Sonar RFI Kit
Fish Finders/Sonar units can cause RFI “noise” in other electronic devices on a boat including audio and video systems, radar, SSB, wind/speed/depth instruments, etc. Likewise other electronic devices can also interfere with the fish finder and cause erroneous depth/temperature readings.
Palomar Engineers has developed a simple to install fish finder/sonar RFI suppression kit to solve the RFI noise problem aboard recreational and commercial boats.
Just slip a split bead on the transducer cable (1" ID) and use the 5 1/2" ID split beads on the fish finder/sonar readout unit transducer input and DC cables. Use the extra ferrites on other equipment needing protection like the Radar, radio, etc.
