Thread: HB 999 and 899

All these views no reply. Well I'm not going to go 1st will just watch the boards and see what happens

Here is discussion ...

Anyone else get an e-mail about firmware update?

Us crappie guys seem to be a little less "trigger happy" than green carp guys ...

Thanks for the reply and link Rickie. Will this update fix the 200/83 issue that I was having not seeing blue fish ID while over brush pile? And what is this Jigging mode?

Wonder if I could get a link to check it out? Thanks

I haven't seen any posts on this new "Jiggin mode" except that sfw1960 (Robert) has verified that it does, indeed show up in the menu system after the update ...

Greg is also looking for info from the engineers but he is out for the weekend ...

We hope "Jiggin mode" is some kind of fix for the broken 2d pixelation issue since 6.570 ...

We shall see ...

I would say it addresses the FISH ID issue ...

I only install updates once a year. I will do it in the next couple of weeks and hope for the best. Since I'm adding a 360 I have to do the updates for the Bird. I haven't updated the touch in two years and will do it also.

Weird I have the 1199 and the update isn't available under my login. Still showing the 7.020 as latest.
