Hello All,

I've been trying to decide between the Lowrance Elite 4x and the HB 346c DI. I've been focusing on the frequencies and coverage areas on both units as they are quite different. Elite has 83/200khz @ 120/60 degrees respectively while the 346c has 200/400/855khz (see here for coverages 346c DI :: Humminbird :: Down Imagingβ„’

I'm a little confused as to which is best in my situation..... I fish only in fresh water 3'-50' depth for Bass, Perch, Pike. I've read the 83khz is great as it tend to work better in shallow water.......Lowrance says it gives UP TO 120 degrees and I'm not sure what determines that coverage..... I have an email into them.

Any way, I was hoping for some anecdotal evidence as to which way I should go......

Secondly, any suggestions on where I can get my 12v battery?
