*Add a XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T ... (attached to "Side Image" leg of AS SIDB Y cable)...
*Attach AS SIDB Y cable to "Switch Thru" leg of HB TS3 switch ...

This will give you normal 898 HDSI sonars on 1 side of the HB TS3 switch...
And "Dedicated DI" sonar on the other side of the HB TS3 switch ...

You will have to make provisions for the additional XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T at the front ...

Rickie,

If I wanted to just add the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T would the 2D come from the US2 out of the Terrova or would it come from the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T?

Would I need a AS SIDB Y cable? Again, I think I'll only want 2D and DI from the 898 and leave the SI portion out. If I find I want it later I will do as you suggested above. Thanks for all the help!!!

I made the list thinking you really wanted to use the US2 ..(With the AS SIDB Y cable ...the 2d would be coming from the US2) ...

It definately would be possible to use the 83kHz/200kHz of the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T (eliminating the need for the AS SIDB Y cable)...

So this scenario can look like this ...:

*Move the 898 up front ...
*Install HDSI on the foot of the Terrova ...
*Add a HB TS3 switch ...(with "line thru" leg of TS3 attached to HDSI xducer =2d/SI and DI from SI)...
*Add a XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T ... (attached to "Switch Thru" leg of HB TS3 switch) ...

This still gives regular 898 HDSI sonars on 1 leg of the HB TS3 switch ...
And "Dedicated DI" on the other leg of the HB TS3 switch ...

Or ... If you do not need SI ... Then is could look like this ...:

*Move the 898 up front ...
*Add the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T to the foot of the Terrova ...(attached directly to the 898)...

This will give you "Dedicated DI" (455kHz/800kHz)... and normal 83kHz/200kHz 2d ...
