Thread: After much reading and such, I still can not make a clear cut decision on which to go

and also is this available now or is there some wait on something to do with software ??

thanks

This is from doug's post...The DownImaging that comes from a Side Imaging Unit will not transfer via Ethernet to a DI unit. For example if I hook up a 1198 and 788ci HD DI unit the only information they can share is the 200kHz Downlooking sonar. No DownImaging information will be shared.

I would assume this to be true for your 898 also...

Because the 898 DI data is derived from the SI data (DI data is from the SI crystals)

DI in the 788ci HD DI (DI data is from DI dedicated crystals)

Therefore your 788ci HD DI cannot read the DI (or SI) from the 898
