I'm sure this is the consensus (or maybe the hope) of the "decision makers" at the sonar companies ...

How much weight did it take to sink the ping pong balls? I tried the two tennis ball setup that Fishton uses to test with but didn't take enough weight with me.

Either it's the 8oz. or the 10oz. I'm not sure.I think l used the 10oz., I was worried that it might sink my marker, if the line got hung up.i held on to the marker until I got the weight on the bottom.seem to go down really easy

Those are some good images

The 2 main things I see with my Onix running CHIRP is the water column is much cleaner and the arches are solid. Now if I use 105khz then I get the best of both world.

I've said this before but the biggest problem with Humminbird CHIRP is the cost. And just in case you guys haven't seen them, the transducers are huge!!

I surely hope HB takes a hard look at this issue...

I feel there may be a lot of SM boxes collecting dust on dealer's shelves ...

Ok, apx. What s the cost with all that's needed for say a 10" screen

I thought I'd try 4 ping pong balls today.the di seems to separate the balls better than the 2d.also the di is showing were my bouy line is attached to the 3/16 line, above and below the balls.

Here's some more.

Looks like they are all 83/200, did you try just 200?

**kosmo** · 01-01-2015, 04:05 PM

No, I didn't try the 200khz only, but those last two are switchfire clear.i was surprised that the clear mold produced the best results (or at least I believe it's better).I'll have to test more, but the max mold was turned all the way down, but was still to hot.on the di, I didn't fool with it.just kept it on the same setting.what I did fool with, was the surface clutter and the 83 sensitivity.
