I am getting close to making a new FF purchase and right now I am leaning toward the Elite 5 DSI with chartplotter.
I have been searching and reading all I can find but I still have found nothing telling me what the angle or width of the sonar beam is on the downscan. One time I thought I had read that is is wider than the conventional cone beam. Is there a formula that gives the beam width at XXX depth? The transducer is 455/800. The 455 is for a broader scan correct?
Also am i correct in thinking that the Elite 5 DSI can only read in downscan and not in 2D. Could it be networked with my x135. I am planning on leaving the x135 hooked up.
