Seriously...there's been a lot of that in that forum lately...but there is some valid info in that thread...

2 of the most important...:

*899ci HD SI Combo comes with the compact SI xducer (455kHz only)...but it can be traded in to HB for the HDSI (455kHz and 800kHz)...with a small $$ upgrade fee...

*899ci HD SI Combo requires the AS EC QDE adapter cable IF you are going to Ethernet anything to the unit...because the Ethernet cable now goes into the cable collector...

Amen Rickie, I get alot of info over there as well but sometimes its alot of wading before you find it. Our mods here do an excellent job.

Rees guide what are you running for sonar?

Old stuff rite now but am in the market. Had a 798 (to small), had an Elite7 (too slo). Rite now I have an LCX28 at the bow with a 4000gps puck on it and an Elite 5DSI at the console which I only use for depth and the map, dang thing will read depth at 60 mph and the gps keeps up very well too, not sure what happened to the Elite7s but the GPS sure wasnt near what I thought it needed to be, didnt keep it 3 weeks.
Looking at both Hummingbird and Lowarance rite now and the Bird is getting the lean rite now due to the fact that I fish shallower water most the time, less than 20 foot deep.
