Has anyone experienced radio noise interference with their depth instrument. I have a new Standard Horizon MD150 with depth and speed. I have found that when I run my A4, my depth readings go haywire and start recording 400' of depth in 20' of water. There are no problems when under sail. I've installed resistor plugs with no effect. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

1. It seldom helps unless the dealer is a real electronics dealer, but have you spoken to them? Does Standard Horizon have a web site with tech help?
2. Do your depth cables have cylindrical objects near the termination point? These are intended to reduce radio frequency interference. My Raymarine unit has them. Perhaps you can get some of these?
3. Do you have or can you get a copy of Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual by Nigel Calder? He gives about three pages of suggestions (including resistor plugs) on how to deal with RF at the source. Calder claims an electronics-whiz friend of his says dealing with RF any other way is like taking aspirin for a brain tumour.
