So we have 2 separate 899's with 7.460 that the DI Sharpness issue is fixed ...

Anyone with other model SI units using this new version that also has the DI Sharpness issue fixed ...??

To clarify, I'm really not sure if the sharpness was on or off on our unit. Also, the lines on the screen were vertical rather than horizontal. Either way, the update made it disappear.

I thought that I had posted this earlier today but I guess it did not make it through.
Got confirmation that the problem with the DI sonar (using Chart Speed 2 and Sharpness) was fixed in software version 7.460 but it somehow did not manage to get into the release notes. So all Si models running 7.460 or higher should not have this problem.

While this is true - the original "problem" cropped up whilst we were playing with the SI logarithms and these have also been hand massaged with the "Jigging Mode" replicating the "old style" SI transceiver sequencing.
I would have expected a change, if not a "fix".
