    Default 596c HD DI?


    What does any one know about this 596c HD DI? Thinking about ordering one, but would like some input on it. Thanks...

    If you do not need networking or mapping it is a good unit.

    I didn't think it had that stuff? It doesn't have a GPS, that's one reason why I liked it, I already have GPS. Thanks.

    Some find it very advantageous in the HB units of having 2d in addition to the DI...

    HB 596c HD DI
    Down Imaging® w/ DualBeam PLUS™
    w/SwitchFire™
    2d...
    200 kHz / 25° @ -10db
    455 kHz / 16° @ -10db
    DI...
    455 kHz / 75° @ -10db
    800 kHz / 45° @ -10db
    Depth: 250ft (DI)/600 ft.

    The 596c HD DI unit is basically a 597ci HD DI unit minus the GPS parts. So anyone with a 597ci HD DI unit should be able to give you feedback on the sonar for the 596c HD DI unit as it is exactly the same.

    None of the 500 series units can be networked.
