Recording Question

**LowePro** · 08-29-2014, 05:20 PM

I dont have a map card yet, but plan on it! I will use this advice in the future! I downloaded the sdformater software, and put my sd card in it. It stated there is an error in formatting that sd card. So i got a brand new sd card and put that in my unit. Its working now

! Dont know what the problem is with my other sd card, but its going to be a still photo card only! So the problem is a defective card. Thanx for the help! Now im gojng to start posting more detailed images!

I got a question, 3 or 4 prolly. When you are recording which view will show up in the recording?? Gonna put a card in in the morning and let her rip.

The HB unit records the raw data...

Playback will use that data to display all the views during playback...

The only exception is the unit will not record the "Imaging Frequency" not selected in the menu...

In other words..if 455kHz is selected as the "Imaging Frequency" under the Sonar tab, the unit will not record the 800kHz...

If the "Imaging Frequency" is changed during recording...the recording playback will also change frequency at that point in the playback...

And 1 other thing I forgot...

The HB unit will not record the data outside the "SI Range" setting...

For example...:

During recording, if the "SI Range" is set to 50'...the playback of this recording will be black outside of this 50' "SI Range"...

Thanks Rickie, real green at this but gonna prefish for a tourney Sunday and figured this would be a good way to scout an area or two. How far is too far to extend my SI scan?? 150 off each side good?
Also, what size card do I need to use?

Longer SI Range setting makes structure and fish look smaller...

I have had success with spotting interesting things with an SI Range setting of 100'...but I can't tell what those interesting things are at that range...(watch for the shadows)...

So I drop a waypoint on the interesting things and then re-position the boat to scan at 50-70' SI Range...
---------------------------

HB units will take up to 32gb SD Card ....SDHC or SD....(do not use SDXC)...

HB recommends the Sandisk brand...
