I got a better idea

Use what you've got, and quit trying to have the latest/greatest technology. All you're doing is spending yourself into a state of depression, instead of just going fishing to stay out of it. And we all already know, just like computers, these units will be "old school technology" in a relatively short period of time.

Even if you had a unit that would point you straight to where the fish were, told you what mood they were in, what color they currently preferred, etc. ... you still have to GO fishing, before any unit will make a difference. People caught fish before there was any such thing as a Depthfinder, let alone one with all the capabilities of today. How ?? They went fishing ... often !! They learned about the fish they sought ... what it ate, where it hid, what conditions were best/worst, and what bait & techniques/presentations were the most efficient at catching them. Trial & error, and word of mouth, taught them.

$1000 would allow me to take at least four 2-3day fishing trips ... whereas another $1000 worth of electronics wouldn't really make the fishing any more productive (even if I could afford to make the same number of trips).

Ok, can I count on you for 400?

AWACS (Awax) uses it in the air.

Ring Ring Ring!!! Bells just went off in my head. I've been trying to remember where I've seen stuff like that before. SLAR developed during Nam. Side Looking Airborne Radar.

Good one.....

I think I still have a Color-C-Lector, box of Flying Lures, some Banjo Minnows and some Helicopter lures if you guys are interested. Oh, and a Hydrowave as well.

Just kidding Personally, I just don't see the advantage of CHIRP over today's 2D and DI (for the money spent). If it came built in to the next unit/transducer I buy for my rig, fine. Otherwise, don't think so.
